A radical departure from your previous submissions. Yet, extremely entertaining and thought provoking. Let this train of thought loose every so often. Love to see where it could lead.
Wrong category. Sure, it qualifies as Sci-Fi. But it's a horror story in a Sci-Fi setting.
Definitely different from my usual reading preferences. I really enjoyed it though. Quite well done for a quick short story. I could see it in a series. Maybe one of these plants given to an abused woman and her jerk boyfriend ends up as fertilizer. Or two room mates bring one home from vacation and have to learn how to 'take care' of it properly. Thanks for the read.
Hate to think what her bed is looking like, or even what is left of it. Some springs and polyester strips. If it corrodes cotton, remember that many items contain cotton including bedding.
Is there another story cumming with a female plant?
I am considering two or three follow-up stories to this one, one of which includes a female version of the plant. Another may end up as part of my "Cheating Zone" series.
Thanks!!
This started out not being my kind of story, but being a compulsive reader, I continued. By the end I was enthralled!
Very nice change of pace from your usual fare. Thank you!
A fun story
Perhaps a little bit of mystery should be kept about the origin. A set of follow-up stories would be Excellent.
Enjoyed reading your story of "The Plant". I like these type of stories where plants interact with humans. These types of stories are kind of kinky but I really enjoy reading them. Looking forward to reading chapters 2 and 3. Ward Master
You almost lost a star with the no coffee thing.
Why the hate? Ha...
Great story. On to part 02.
Ok I’m intrigued. This is not the Tramp experience that I have come to love, but I want to see where this is going.
WOW! I did NOT see that twist ending coming! I cannot wait to read more and see where all of this goes! Thank you SO MUCH for writing this and thank you for following me on Twitter, too! xoxoxoxo, amy
Cannot say "I love it," but found it interesting, easy to follow and truly improbable. Anyway - Great job, Author!
I'm glad I finally read this chapter of The Plant as it shed information on the progress of some parts of the Where No One Has Gone Before story line. Anyone who is reading this story needs to share time with some of the other writings from ST1956 that he identifies in his introductions.
This is a cool story even the second time around! Thanks ST, you're the best! 5 BIG ASS STARS!
