Excellent Prisoner Venus Landing by Wils The Prisoner writing prompt entry

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. Writing Prompt In 100 words, or less, write a short story--not necessarily a flash-fiction, though it could be--on the theme/subject/topic of 'prisoner'. It could be literal or metaphoric.
