Imagine yourself, out on a
tour one day. |
||
A fresh breeze brings a delicious aroma to you so you follow the scent to find out what it is. You come across an amazing sight, a lush carpet covered with tubes that are topped with glittering jewels of fragrant nectar. You step onto the carpet and immediately realize it was a mistake, the nectar is like glue and you're stuck. You try to pull yourself free but as you struggle you realize that the tubes are actually living tentacles and they’re moving towards you, covering you with more glue. In fear, panic and desperation you struggle harder. Pulling one of your legs out of its socket you fall back only to have more of the tentacles cover you. As you lay there, helplessly stuck, juices ooze out of the carpet and begin to dissolve your body.
Death is slow and sure.
