While I was walking to the Front End at work today, I happened to notice a cactus. Cacti are a normal thing this time of year, but this one seemed, well, different. It had its usual cactus stance in a tiny cactus pot. Black plastic pot. The little plant, itself, had had a pointy popcorn look. Light green leaves pointing out from top to bottom. Pointy popcorn.
Then I noticed something weird about the cactus. From the left and right side of it, there were vines growing out. These vines looked quite long, curly, and have little leaves growing out of them. I couldn't stop staring at it. It was the strangest thing I've ever seen. I've discussed a villainous Cotton-Candy Fingers with one coworker, maybe this could be the enemy?
Imagine it, this tiny cactus monster, using it's skinny viney arms to push itself out of the fragile black pot its roots were confined in. It uses its arms to walk around until he finds his victims. Then, it does the horrifying. It buries its roots in the dirt, waiting for the victim to walk by. When the victim's ankle walks by him, he slowly wraps its leg around the walking unfortunate. Then, he tightens his grip when the victim is far enough away. For a thin vine, it's scary-strong.
The moment the vine tightens, Cactus Monster tugs so hard, the unfortunate falls! Another tug rips the cactus from the dirt and sends it flying in the air, landing on top of the victim. I won't describe the rest if the person is defenseless...
In case you're wondering, yes, you just read a post about evil cactus. How do you feel?
Awkward Picture of the day!
Mind blown yet?
