David walked under the lattice archway. It was wrapped with dead vines and plants. As he walked further, he saw many rows of potted plants. Unfortunately, they were all dead. So far, this garden center was miserable!

David wanted to set up an autumn garden in his front yard. He went to this garden center for plants. So far, the place appeared to be a total bust. How could a place that sells dead plants possibly stay in business?

Just as he turned to leave, he heard a voice. "Looking for plants, aren't you?" It was a man in a lab coat. Strange, considering this attire should seem out of place here. "Yes, autumn plants. Ones that would be good for Halloween. Do you have any?" David asked the man. "Of course! Follow me. I have just the thing for you."

The strange man lead David through a large password-protected metal door, which lead to a greenhouse. The greenhouse was full a gigantic, mutant-looking plants. He felt as if he were in a prehistoric jungle.

Eventually, David found himself in front of a 12-foot tall Venus Fly Trap-like plant. It's "heads" were the size of boulders. It appeared to have razor-sharp teeth.

"This is Dionaea giganteus." the man began. "The perfect edition to any Halloween-themed garden. They can live up to 40 years. They can survive the freezing winters here too! You can have them for the low price of $400."

"Okay, I'll take it!" said David as he pulled out his wallet. Suddenly, a vine shot out from the plant and wrapped itself around David. It then lifted him off the ground, dangling him above it's gaping maw.

"Oh, I forgot to mention, they may try to eat people." warned the man, maybe too late. David begged and pleaded to be freed. The man agreed to under one condition: he promises to keep the plant fed.

Later that month, on the fateful night of Halloween, the plant now stood proudly over David's yard. Trick-or-treaters skipped up to his front door. David watched through the window. An evil grin grew on his face. The plant's vine traveled in their direction. This time, they were the treat!
