Kudzu Man, the GMO evolution of humansA Story by mamewhit"i told them not to plant those seeds. i told all the farmers around here they would one day reap what they had sown. i myself never ate the stuff. yeah! i have lived here all my life. you people keep coming here and this thing is going to spread." Dr. Pueraria Lobata sat on her front porch rocking to and fro with an anxiety so great she was shaking and sweating and a little green. She had not seen another person for days and preferred it that way. the last few months had been unnerving and it was unusual to see a face again. a face with no mask. you could smell the wet dirt. just another hot, sultry, southern summer night, but it was silent. not a creature around for miles. the normal croaking and chirping of the night had been gone for years. the investigator was a young man that looked like he was one of the elites. one of those globalist ready to control the situation. all the new cities were full of clones just like him. they had separated themselves off from the rest of the so called lowly unmodified commoners. he wore a high tech suit full of the latest gadgetry. "let me hear your story again, Dr. Lobata. my name is Justice Walker, and i am with the UN globalforce. i report directly to the authority in charge of this investigation." Dr. Lobata was frustrated and still suffering from shock. "i am going to tell you everything from the beginning and you had better get me live in the cloud and all over the social networks. i want this documented. i want all of you in those closed off mega ecocities to see what is coming. you think you so pristine and free from diseases, but a parasite is burrowing right up your asses. i give you two years, maybe three, before this disease transforms your white clean technomad cities. it is going to be a pandemic of epic apocalyptic proportions. you have all eaten the fruit of the forbidden tree. i say only the ones like me will survive." "please, Dr. Lobata, we have all our scientist working on this. we are trying to bring back the seed vault. to replant and find alternative food sources soon. please tell me what happened here." "well" , the doctor took a deep wheezing breath and replied. "it started near on 50 years ago i'd say. you know, you have heard the stories. back in the early 2000's they started planting that gmo corn and manipulating all the crops. it was bad out west in the bread basket, but what they did here in the south, here it changed everything. we mainly grew soybeans, cotton and a few other crops, but i think it had something to do with that kudzu. somehow it started to mutate. i have lived in pleasant hills all my life. grew up running through kudzu. you know the history. it was brought in from japan to stop erosion. mississippi is covered up in kudzu. it took over the south. farmers had to spray all kinds of herbicide to keep it away from their crops. i think it was about ten years back i started seeing the change. something had happened in the fields. i think that kudzu was affected by those gmo crops. i think it genetically changed the make up of kudzu and somehow it has mingled with human dna. i started hearing tell of women dreaming of a green plant monster raping them in their sleep. a green plant like man strangling them almost to death. these stories have been passed down now a generation, maybe two. i don't know, these people also ate the genetically modified food, so who knows how it happened. i got myself off the food chain years ago. i only eat what i grow. save all my own seeds. i stayed isolated and out of those fields. basically i have followed the wildlife. they know. they have a sense. like before tsunamis they head to higher ground or get nervous before earthquakes. if you look around these parts you can scarcely find an insect let alone birds or bees. i will have to follow soon. but i warn you. this is coming to your ecocities. i think it will even jump to those seasteading cities, too. they only eat genetically modified foods. you think i am a lunatic. but i have seen these creatures. i used to be a scientists, a botanist. i worked for the university of mississippi. the area hospitals started contacting us asking all kinds of questions about kudzu and modified plants and organisms. they sent us a lot of material. we started analyzing. i knew then i had to remain isolated from society. this thing that did this, he was one of those modified creatures. they are calling them phytomen. i saw the old Faulk house after the murders. the little one survived, but he took her with him. i think she is his offspring. she had that look and had stopped eating food. that night, the night of the murders, he had crept into the mothers room and was penetrating her from behind. her husband walked in and that creature did not stop his evil defiling act, but turned and sent a vine like object from his head strangling Mr. Faulk as he watched. the phytoman must have known then that it was over, people would now know his truth; because what he did to the mother and son was unspeakable. it was like he did not care to stay hidden any longer. he took his pleasure with both of them. you saw it. that scene was horrific! you, i am sure, have seen all of the dna evidence. that phytoman is part human part plant. part KUDZU! i believe. i think they are multiplying and still mutating. strange thing is, i think it works through male dna easier. it is having a hard time mutating in the female human. that is why he had to come after that little faulk girl. he had produced a female offspring. soon i think you will see more mutations in your cities. i have tried to think like a plant. oh! how crazy that sounds, i know. these human plants will have nothing on their minds but propagation of the species. now they seem to need chlorophyll only but i think eventually they will fully mutate with the carnivorous human and become meat eating phytohumans. this is one dna mutation away from changing the evolution of this planet. i hope your scientists have a planned course of action, Mr. Walker. " "well, Dr. Lobata," said Justice Walker. "we would like you to come with us and help. you have the background we need to set up the program for eradicating this disease. i have orders to take you directly to the UN WHO labs at our seastead. it is the only pure organic city not contaminated with modified organisms. we have been like you and maintained a separate food source and we are totally disease free. before i take you, you must undergo a body scan and let me analyze your dna for contamination. we must leave here quickly though. " Dr. Lobata looked down at the rich soil and said, " all these years i have been keeping myself away from you futurist elites, trying to stay clean and live of the earth and you think i am just going to come with you and put my trust in you hoping you are not contaminated, leaving the earth for a city on the water. have you thought about air contamination? do you know how plants pollinate? what is your clean source of water? i have my own plans i am not going with you elitist. "but, but, i have my orders to bring you by force if need be Dr. Lobata. we need your expertise. we need to stop this now", cried Justice Walker with a tinge of desperation and apprehensive force. "i think it too late already." said Dr. Pueraria Lobata . as she did she started to turn a tinge of green and large kudzu like vines grew from her skin. like the speed of a shooting star she covered her visitor with choking vines. when she retreated all that was left of Justice Walker was his suit and shoes. Dr. Lobata had thoroughly consumed him like the devil tongued amorphophallus titanum eating an insect. © 2012 mamewhit |
