"She became infected at the age of eleven while playing in the field beside her home. She inhaled the pollen from a bed of altered flowers that blew in her direction. Plant life had made a shift – its structure reorganized to balance the population of our planet. Roots grew wildly within her body, devouring her from the inside and planting her to the ground where she stood. Her appearance from the outside remained as it was, beautiful and young. As time passed she grew as she ordinarily would thought her bones became wood and her veins now filled with sweet nectar. A pool of rainwater now amassed below her body concealing her feet, growing deep into the earth. Still her delicate face looked out into the open field. It was a clever disguise, a glaring lure. Countless men, young and old would pass her by. Curious by her glow and motionless position they would approach closely and their feet would become entangled in the net of vines hidden underneath the murky, shallow water. Trapped, their bodies would sink into the mud becoming a source to further grow from." - Jason Limon.
