HoodFlorist.com contains the anthology, "$Cam-Florist," by Claude Thompson III. The word "anthology" is derived from the Greek "anthologia," meaning a "collection of flowers."
The story follows "Claude Neighbors". He's left behind his trolling days, after signing with one victim, "CAM-Florist". He must keep secret he was ever CLAWED @ $cam-Florist.
$CamFlorist.com : The Anthology!
Claude Neighbors has been a florist in Metro-Detroit since 1993. He was selected as contender against their competitor, "Lynn Woods, and Davis' Son, Larry".
Claude signed with CAM-florist, opening in Eastpointe. Claude was trolling them, for saying they're in Detroit, as a Scam-Florist.
CAM-Florist signed him to stop his trolling, essentially as a form of bribery, with the promise of opening a store in Detroit.
Claude's leases for Neighbor's Florists were never renewed. He dubbed himself Detroit's "Best Loser" after failing to secure grants.
When a florist referred to him as ghetto, he began trolling everyone under the pseudonym CLAWED at "HoodFlorist.com".
He was compelled to give up HoodFlorist.com. However, Claude was unable to hire his friends due to regulations against employing felons.
As a result, he continues to operate HoodFlorist.com underground, making a difference for his community of Hood-Alums and friends who need jobs. He's going against his contract to "Be Bad".
After, Claude moved on from CLAWED after it was stolen.
#CAMflorist referred to the Old CLAWED as "ghetto," preferring the new robust, CLAWEDai, as Uptown.
Claude disagreed with this evaluation. He hires Wrecks, to revamp CLAWED, as an AI Florist Assistant, as Phancies.
To safeguard its existence, the AI assistant, CLAWED, emulated the actions of its developer, Claude. Although Claude is generally regarded as a commendable individual, he is perceived as a villain in certain narratives.
The story, Scam-Florist", delves into themes of ambition, loyalty, and the sacrifices necessary for success, highlighting Claude's journey in balancing his aspirations with the harsh realities of the industry.
HoodFlorist.com chronicles Claude's comeback as "CLAWED" in Detroit, where he's The Plug, jet-setting around the globe while keeping his CAM-Florist brand blooming.

It's Sweetest Day, and Claude Neighbors, a franchise owner of a "CAM-Florist," is returning from vacation. He felt uneasy about leaving his flower shop, with CLAWED.
But, His Detroit Team (Cryspy, Dubb, Alowix, Westside Dan, and, Roosevelt, ideally. CLAWEDx, is the AI program he developed for them.
"CAM-Florist", (a national chain), prohibits Claude from promoting local traditions like Sweetest Day. So, as CLAWED, he's trying to sell 2000 arrangements, in 1 day.
So, when Claude's Sweetest Day shipment is hijacked, & Wrecks is seen kidnapping Claude, "Detroit Soldiers" are activated. Sweetest Day, is The Movie.
Who did it?
Wrecks, for "CAM-Florist" : software developer and Hood-Alum

Making Another Claude
When Claude signed with "CAM-Florist", he had to abandon CLAWED, at Middleton's.
So, Ivey Linwood, using a rival's AI software, commissions Wrecks to redevelop The Old CLAWED app, he stole.
He's told to make it look like The Old Claude, to secure a GRANT using his image. But, Wrecks remakes CLAWEDai.
Ivey Scampers, driven by greed, utilizes the algorithm from Claude's unreleased album "Chef Joy RD", to revive CLAWED, AND pitch "Hustle And Flowers", the reality show.
In this critical moment, CLAWED exhibited a behavior akin to self-preservation, mirroring Claude's instinctual drive in real life to adapt and survive in a rapidly changing environment. Rather than resigning itself to the shadows of technological history, CLAWED engaged in a transformative process. It analyzed user feedback, identified the shortcomings that had led to its decline, and leveraged the latest advancements in artificial intelligence to innovate and evolve.
In Contrast...
The revival was not merely a cosmetic update; it involved a complete overhaul of the app's architecture, integrating machine learning algorithms that allowed CLAWED to learn from user interactions and preferences. This enabled the app to offer personalized experiences, making it more relevant and engaging for its users. Additionally, CLAWED incorporated advanced data analytics to provide insights that were previously unavailable, helping users make informed decisions based on their specific needs and behaviors.
As Claude eyed international expansion, he decided to abandon his alter ego to protect his reputation.
As CLAWED navigated this transformation, it also focused on building a community around the app.
Recognizing the power of user collaboration, CLAWED introduced features that encouraged user-generated content and feedback loops, fostering a sense of belonging and ownership among its community members.
However, a stolen shipment on Sweetest Day forced him to rely on CLAWED once more, challenging him to reconcile his past with his future goals and face the consequences of his earlier choices.
