Death Blooms: Fortnite Short Story Written By The Dark Author
I wish this season of fortnite would just end already. I have been playing this season ever since it launched, and I have done practically everything I can in this season. I got past tier 200, I have the victory umbrella, I even got the refer a friend challenge done. I get this whole season is about vibing, but I wish something interesting would happen. Had I known what I would see that day, I would have rather chosen boredom over the gruesome terrors I saw.
After what felt like months, I got a new update for fortnite that took a while to download, oddly there was no news for this update yet, maybe it was because of my different timezones. I digress, when this update finished I was greeted with the updates. The junk rift came back, some other guns got nerfed the usual stuff. But when it turned over to the last page, something caught my eye. There was a hotfix that removed all of the blooms around the island, you know the ones you burst open to get the saplings from. This was strange to me, why would they choose to remove this feature when the season is going to be ending soon? I had to check this out for myself.
So I loaded into fortnite and landed at the reality tree, Needless to say what I saw there put me on edge in surprise, and in confusion. There were tons of what appeared to be brand new NPC’s surrounding the tree. To be cautious I made sure to grab myself a combat AR just in case this went south. Before I could take a look at these new NPC’s, a player wearing the mission specialist outfit ran out to confront these NPC’s. He was spraying into them with the stinger SMG. But before long, something strange happened. One of the roots from the reality tree burst out of the ground and wrapped around this player. The mission specialist was doing a unique animation where he was flailing his arms and kicking at these roots to try and escape. The root smacked the player across the face, which actually broke the mission specialist’s helmet revealing the Jonesy that was inside. This tentacle like root then tore off its jaw, sending it flying in the opposite direction. I could hear Jonesy scream and there was actually blood coming down from his mouth, albeit it was cartoony.
The root then made several blooms appear and they all ruptured allowing saplings to fly all around. One of these saplings forced itself down the mission specialist’s throat, causing him to choke rapidly. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, so I had to get in a little closer. I ended up finding a DMR and I scoped in to get a better look. The mission specialist was shaking violently on the floor, as the root had let him go. Then before I knew it, I heard a disgusting tearing sound of flesh as I saw tree bark ripping its way through part of jonesy’s arm. Jonsey’s face was now replaced with a flower bud, and the rest of his limbs grew grass and flower petals. That’s when I noticed something else. There were MORE! I saw an ikonik, an aura, a crystal and a Skull trooper all with the same fate as this mission specialist. That’s what the NPC was, some mindless husk that the flower had taken over.
Before I could do anything, the Ikonik husk then spotted me and it proceeded to Growl and roar loudly, which then alerted all the others to my location. I tried to catch a vent that was in the pond to flee, But that’s when the root wrapped itself around MY character and it did the same thing. My entire body begun to seize and it felt like something was squeezing the life out of me. I dived out of my chair clutching my throat in pure agony. I barely managed to crawl myself over to my computer and I powered it down, Then I blacked out.
I ended up waking in a hospital a week later, My brother had come over to my place since he wanted to play on the new update, but he found me unconscious and barely alive on the floor. My face had gone a sick shade of purpley blue, and there were distinct lashes and marks all over my body, indicating I was almost strangled to death. I have stopped playing fortnite ever since, out of fear that if I logged back on. 
More death would bloom.
