A barrage of rain is pouring down the zigzag road. Dark clouds filling and covering the night sky. A man in his late 40's drove his truck aggressively through the storm. His phone is ringing on the back of his chair and he stretched his arms to reach it, making the truck jerk down the road. In the middle of the road a tree has fallen because of thunder that struck it. Unaware of the fallen tree along the drive, he reaches for the object with his one hand on the wheel. As he grabs the phone, he sees the tree and immediately swerves off the road. The man, now steering the wheel into the forest beside the road and crashing the vehicle on a tree. The crash synchronized with thunder as the truck hit the tree and shattered the front glass of the vehicle. The man is saved from impact due to an emergency air bag, cutting his hands from the broken glass in the process. Feeling dizzy, he checked himself if he was badly injured. Upon inspecting himself, it's only his hands that's badly injured and only abrasions on his forehead. He tilted his head to a broken mirror and saw that he is trapped inside. Seeing his situation, he decided to get out of the truck and inspect the damage. He tries to open the door but it won't budge, so he lies down on his chair and starts kicking the door open. With his second attempt to open the door, it finally submitted. He crawled out of the truck safely. He got his phone out from his pocket and turned on the flashlight, just to see that the vehicle is heavily damaged and is beyond repair. He checked his phone again to try and call for help but there is no signal in his area. Thinking of a way to help himself he resolved to walk down the road again and try to look for help along the way. He shakily walked away from his vehicle and steadily walked towards the road. Before he gets to go on the road he suddenly sees a faint light on the left side of his face. Thinking that it was a person or shelter he checked it out. Once he got closer to the light he noticed that it was not a house but a big ovular plant. He went closer to inspect it, holding the phone in his hands. He went closer and closer until he stepped on a branch and it made a hole underneath him. Falling in the pit. He gasped and hit his head on the side. Hitting the side of the hole alerted the plant and stretched it's vines to him. The vines has spikes, scratching him and got injected with the plant's acid making him paralyzed. He tried to scream for help but before he gets a word out of his mouth, the plant covered his mouth with its vines. It popped out a sharp triangular bone looking like teeth and stabbed him in his torso. He struggled to get out of the plants grasp but he immediately became numb. Feeling immense pain and agony the only thing he did is cry whilst the plant stabbed him and breaking every bone in his body and alleggedly swallowed him into the ground.
