THE STORY

This Ain’t No Home & Garden Show

You remember the triffids? Well these bad boys were triffids on steroids. No meteor shower this time so the scientists were lost when these leafy-veined varmints sprouted legs, began spitting poison and eating people like Earth was one giant Old Country Buffet.

Thanks to the US, the Paris Agreement dissolved in 2021, which led to the oceans drying up, so killing these creepy creepers with seawater again was out and, unfortunately, so was our time. My master gardening skills are all that’s kept me alive this long and hopefully my diary will serve as a warning to others.

The End?
