A young guy has been having trouble sleeping. He stays up all night coughing. So, he goes out and buys a plant to keep his apartment's air nice and clean. Unfortunately, the plant is hungry for more than fertilizer.
I bought a plant recently and was a little weirded out by how its leaves move to chase the sun. This is just taking that weirdness to its logical conclusion. I was also inspired by one of Scaylid00d's pictures that had a normal house plant rather than a great big jungle plant for a pred. House plants need love too!

Most plants leaves move to chase the sun its just that some are more obvious than others

It's neat how active plants are. I always think of them as immobile and inert, but there's a lot more to plants than you might think.

That was interesting. Nice interpretation of a plants behavior. By the way, plants in ways fascinate me too.

Thanks! Plants are super cool. Just don't let them grow too close to your bed!

Well, the plants in my house are fake. Or are they? *Paranoid stare*
Yeah... By the window... A decent distance away from my bed... that preferably does not want to eat me... Then again, how would I know?

Fantastic story, a delightful read @//u//@
Technically speaking, the vocabulary and structuring is excellent, and reads as smooth as that velvety carpel... =D
You captured the attitude I imagined for my version of the plant pretty much perfectly :D The fact that the plant keeps getting "abandoned" by its owners is also a delicious addition. It's great to know that Timothy and the plant will be alone together, for more than enough time to digest him utterly~ <3

Thanks so much! :D I'm honored. ^^
Yes, I love the idea of Timothy hanging there in that greedy little daisy, squirming and wiggling all day and all night... till there's nothing left of him to wiggle. >_<

My name is Timothy, and I often find myself with an empty cough. So needless to say, it felt as if you wrote an actual story about me, haha.
