VINE-BOY

Oh, hia REVOLTING-READERS! A WORM WELCOME! I am just doing some TOPI-SCARY work around my CASTLE here heh-heh. I have a quite a GREEN SEVERED-HUMAN-THUMB for gardening too ha-ha-ha! Feel free to PLANT yourselves around the bushes here, as we take a GHOULISH-GANDER at this GREEN HOUSE EFFECT I call...

Back in the Summer of 1955, there was a farmhouse down in southern-Arkansas, where a man and a girl sat on a porch-swing together one hot day. The man played Oh, Susannah! on a harmonica and the girl sang the song. Meanwhile, out, in the cornfield by the farmhouse, there were six thick, black vines slowly moving out of the field and across the grass, accompanied by a high-pitched groan. The man finished playing Oh, Susannah! on the harmonica and the girl finished singing it. They smiled at each other and hugged one another. "That there singin' of y'all's was beautiful Ann" the man told the girl. "Gee, thanks Papa" Ann responded to him and he kissed her forehead. The vines eerily slithered to the side of the farmhouse and both Ann and her father heard a sneeze. They looked and there was a boy standing at the side of the farmhouse, by the side of the front porch. "Howdy, boy, may I help y'all?" Ann's father said to him, asking. The boy was quiet and nodded. "Alright then. M'name's Mr. Greyson and this here is my Daughter Ann" Ann's father responded, introducing himself and Ann to the boy. They got up and walked over to the side of the porch. Mr. Greyson and the boy shook hands and the boy smiled.

That afternoon, Ann, Mr. Greyson and the boy sat at a table in the kitchen of the farmhouse. Mr. Greyson drank a bottle of Jack Daniel's Whiskey, Ann drank a glass of milk and the boy drank a glass of orange juice, and ate a bowl of oatmeal. A woman sat down at the table with the three of them, drinking a glass of orange juice. "Howdy, I'm Mrs. Greyson. Who are y'all?" she asked the boy, smiling. "Name?" he responded to Mrs. Greyson. "Why, yes dear" Mrs. Greyson answered. "Can we call y'all Emmett?" Ann said to him, asking. The boy smiled at her, nodding. "Alright, Emmett" Mr. and Mrs. Greyson said to him. That night, Emmett was in a bedroom downstairs, lying in a bed, looking around the room within the moonlight that shone through the window. During the night, the six vines moved through the Greyson's farmhouse from the living room, to the kitchen, slithering up to of the walls within their kitchen. In the morning, Mrs. Greyson went into the kitchen and screamed at the sight of them. Mr. Greyson ran in and looked at the three vines on the two walls across from each other. "Henry, where did these vines come from?" Mrs. Greyson asked Mr. Greyson, putting her hand to her mouth then. "Those there vines had to come into the farmhouse from outside, Sally!" he responded, answering her. Suddenly, the black vines slithered down from the kitchen-walls and moved backwards, out of the kitchen as Mrs. Sally Greyson and Mr. Henry Greyson gasped in horror. Mr. Henry Greyson rushed into the living-room and saw the vines slithering back into the crack under a door. He threw open the door and saw Emmett waking up in the bed in the bedroom. The vines were mysteriously gone.

That afternoon, Ann was feeding a small group of roosters and hens out, in the barnyard. She threw chicken feed from out of a pail to the chickens, and a car came racing up the road, and down the driveway of her farmhouse then. The vehicle parked in front of the barn and a teenage bully got out of the driver's side. He grabbed a rifle out of the backseat. Ann looked up and gasped in surprise and fear at the teen and his weapon. "HOWDY, ANN GREYSON YOU LITTLE SISSY! I'M GONNA SHOOT Y'ALL DEAD YOUR PA AND MA TOO!" the bully shouted at the girl. "OH, PLEASE, VICTOR, WHY?" Ann shouted in fear to him, asking. "ON ACCOUNT I NEED MONEY FER COLLEGE, YER PA'S GOT PLENTY, AND Y'ALL ARE A SISSY ANYWAYS!" Victor shouted at Ann and pointed the rifle at her. The six eerie black vines slithered across the driveway to Victor's feet and twisted around his legs, moving up his body then. As they twisted around the bully's torso up, to his throat, he screamed in horror. As he screamed more, Ann gasped in horror herself, dropping the pail, and spilling the chicken feed. Emmett stood behind her and the boy's eyes suddenly glowed a bright green, as he became an eerie black, except for his curly hair which turned into bright-green moss. Emmett's eerie-black body except for his head became an eerie vine itself. Ann looked back, seeing Emmett and screamed. Being choked by the six vines, the bully fired his rifle and dropped it.

Mr. and Mrs. Greyson came running out of the farmhouse. They screamed seeing the monster that they knew as Emmett, and Mr. Greyson grabbed Ann immediately. "HENRY, WHAT IN TARNATION IS THAT THING???" Mrs. Greyson screamed at Mr. Greyson. "SOME KINDA MONSTER, SALLY!!!" he screamed back. The six vines around Victor's body and neck continued to squeeze his throat until they snapped his neck, killing the bully instantly. Then, they pulled the corpse to the vine monster, three vines on protruding from the one side of its back, the three other vines protruding from the other side of its back. A circle of grass outside the cornfield suddenly caved in and Emmett now having pointy-ears and a pointy-nose, peeled open his mouth, revealing long, needle-like fangs of yellow. The thing slithered on its thick, black vines that was its body over to the hole and slithered down, into it with the dead body wrapped up in its six vines. Mr. Henry Greyson, Ann Greyson and Mrs. Sally Greyson ran over to the round hole, peering down into it. The bright-green-shining eyes of the monster suddenly appeared within the darkness of the hole. "Thank you very much for your hospitality and kindness. I am known as Vine-Boy, but of course you Folks can call me Emmett like you have. I have saved you from this evil human, and am going to consume his dead body within my realm known as The Dark Realm" the thing's voice said to them, explaining. Then Vine-Boy's eyes disappeared. Ann and her Folks smiled, sighing in relief. Mr. Greyson ran off, returned with a shovel and filled up the hole.

It looks like everything turned out just VINE eh, BOILS AND GHOULS? Victor tried to TAKE A SHOT at it, but Emmett a.k.a. Vine-Boy got him ALL CHOKED UP aha-ha-ha-ha! That was some rather QUICK PLANT-NING from the monster too hee-hee-hee.
