Prisoner
Venus Landing
by Wils
Twenty seconds…
I count down as I struggle to break free. Stupid plant and its stickiness. I have been told since I was young to stay away from those.
Fifteen seconds...
It won’t be long now. The flower was so pretty I just forgot myself for a moment. Now my poor children will be fatherless. I hope they, at least, learn something from my stupidity.
Five seconds…
I was only trying to be a good grasshop…
SNAP!
Help, is anyone there? If you feel curious, please open this plant and release me. If he must eat, I hope he regurgitates.
