Beanstalk

 


The first beanstalk was funny. The second was concerning. The third broke through City Hall.

By the end of the week, beanstalks covered the entire planet.

NASA confirmed: "They’re still growing."

Scientists tried herbicides. Nothing worked. The beanstalks absorbed them and grew stronger.

Then, one morning, the vines started moving. Twisting. Reaching.

They weren’t just plants anymore.

They were hungry.

And they were climbing back down.

That's all I could handle today. But if I saw one of these beanstalks... I'd absolutely climb it and see where I could escape.

  1. I'm curious what/who is climbing back down the beanstocks. Very fun.

    1. I definitely need to explore the creepiness more in my first two stories this month.
