the Fly Trap

"What in the world?" He looked at me, his face a mixture of horrified and puzzled.

"Well. . ." I tried to explain. "It started with a school project." I tried to smile.

"What kind of project?" He looked utterly confused.

"Well, to be more specific, it started with six venus fly traps."

Penelope planned to impress her professor, and instead of choosing a normal project, she had to choose one involving a venus fly trap. The results were not even close to expected, and now Penelope must fight to survive (and maybe still achieve a good grade).
