The flowers tickled Mara's skin, fuzzy little fingers creeping innocently along. It was a delightful idea. Nestling among scents and softness like a bed. The flowers crept farther, vines twisting and leaves seeking. How quickly they could mutate into something devious. A beautiful bed may become the final grave if they wanted. A nightmare of nature. Her pets could nibble and nuzzle the plants onward like good shepherds.
Nature would take over if it could. Inspired by a little hint of intelligence, or maybe aggression, and all of humanity had something to dread. A story or a warning for the ages ahead. Do not play with fire, the world might bite back.
The vines curled and snapped. She pushed up to an elbow. "My pets are happy and full. The feast has been plentiful lately. All are sleeping and calm. As am I."
A soft rain pelted. She twisted around like Nimeda. A sheet of black hair was plastered to her cheeks.
"Would you like to hold one?" An eerie, wet smile flickered as she stretched out with desire. A few moments later, a fluffy black shadow poofed into being. Beady eyes peered from the folds of downy darkness. She pat the ground to summon it, but the creature hesitated because of Nimeda.
