Overgrowth

In a dystopian future where humanity has taken drastic measures to reverse the damage they did to the Earth years ago, people are dying at an increased rate from a parasitic invasion to their bodies. But this invasion isn't any normal parasite, but plants. From the day you are born, you are injected with a certain seed for a plant. You will be forced to take pills holding seeds and fertilizer. Once you die, either from suicide, old age, or the plants, you are simply left in a flowerbed to feed the earth even more.

If you don't take your injections and pills, you are simply killed and left in the flowerbeds anyway. The plants inside of you will still survive with or without you. If you don't give your child the shots and pills, you are arrested and killed. Your child will be given the shots anyway, and they will be forced to live knowing they will meet the same fate if they refuse.

Jasper Contraire, a seventeen year old boy refuses to have his life be ended early by the plants in his body and plans to escape with two friends. Sadie and Cole Fox, two unalike siblings, tag along with Jasper as he tries to find a way to survive the plants in his own body.
