I take care of the garden and plants in this facility, we grow fruit and vegetables sometimes for ourselves, but mostly for the creatures. Sometimes we grow unknown fruits, so we don't eat them, instead we feed them to the creatures. We're not sure if the fruit and vegetables are entirely safe, so whatever we cannot identify, we feed it to the creatures.

One day, as usual, I go to pick the fruits and start placing them in baskets to collect. I notice a strange plant with vines, so I put my gloves on and approach it, and try to figure out what it is. I grab my pruners and cut part of a vine off. Weirdly enough, the vine grows back the part I cut off. The part I'm holding also starts growing longer.

I guess the plant was mad, because its vines started to wrap around my legs, tripping me when I tried to get away. Due to my legs being tied up in these vines, I trip and fall face first onto the plants. I try getting up, but the vines start wrapping more around my body, making it unable for me to move.

The vines are spiky and sharp, like little thorns, they're able to get a good grip on their prey like this. I try to grab my pruners, but the vines snatch it from me, and put it somewhere out of my reach. I try to scream for help, but the vines grab one of the unidentifiable fruits and shove it into my mouth. I try to spit the fruit out, but the vines force it down my throat, not even letting me chew.

The vines have wrapped around my entire body by now. I'm trying to struggle all I can, but the thorny vines are painful. I suddenly start to feel a sharp pain in my stomach and my throat starts burning. I start coughing up blood, and the vines let me go. I try to get out of the room, but I keep collapsing, I can't even stand. I give up and start to crawl towards the exit, hoping someone would find me and help me.

Eventually, I start to lose control of my body and limbs, and I can't even move any more. I just lay there, lifeless body, hoping and depending on someone to find me. I look at my skin and it starts to change color, the same color of the fruit I ate. My body starts changing. I start changing. I feel happy.
