This weeks prompt brought to you by the letter R..all other stories can found here.
“We can no longer go on like this. The world has become too crowded. Look at this image, the city weeps, the people cry out for action. Today is the day my friends when we rise from our soil and grow like pines from the fires to banish those who have hurt us into the flaming walls of hell for eternity. They have stolen our top soil, abused and ate our young sprouts alive. They have chewed and spit us out by the millions. This genocide will not continue. We shall fight and destroy all those dirty granola crunching VEGANS!”
Wonderful Tom, I can se flesh-eating lilies take revenge on the granola people… 🙂
Bjorn,
Thanks man…just having a little fun this week!
Tom
Lilies do look rather carnivorous, don’t they? Very nice 🙂
It looks like the flower is a bullhorn to me….LOL…We’re coming to get ya! Thanks.
There’s something really grim about the concept of flesh-eating lilies rising from their top soil… I may not sleep tonight… Nice one!
LOL….Thanks Sandra!
Okay you really went out there with this. I love it. definitely a different twist.
Thanks Kim.
Revenge is a dish best served…by a lilly.
LMAO!
Oh, I can see “Day of the Triffids” now as “Day of the Lilies!”

LOL…I have to read that now. Rich said the same thing when I was chatting with him.
Thanks Scott
That was a lot of fun, Tom, and I won’t even tell you that I’m mostly vegan. Oh, whoops, I just did. If I’m only mostly, will they let me live? Please? Now if the animals join in against the meat-eaters, we’re in real trouble. Only Mayor Bloomberg will be able to help by making everything known to man illegal. But no one will be fat.

I think you’ll get to live for now, Janet. This Lilly is looking for the real radicals…But you know how these movements are…The next thing you know they will be looking for anyone who eats vegetables. Don’t even get me started on Bloomberg! I was looking to make this a little fun, glad you enjoyed it.
Tom
Nice one, Tom.
Thank you Ted!
Dear Tom,
This is hilarious! I’ll never look at a plant the same way, particularly lilies. Sharp and clever.
Shalom,
Rochelle
Thank you Rochelle. It’s all good when I can make you laugh.
Tom
hahah fun take on the prompt! really enjoyed this 🙂
Thank you.
this was real fun. Vegans are in trouble. Enjoyed this. Thank you, Tom
Thanks for reading my silly story.
Yeah, our two lilies should definitely get together, if only to give mine a friend. Yours sounds like more the militant older brother type. I could see their group: Lilies for the Expansion of Carnivorous Habits, or LECH for short.
David,
The militant older brother or sister type for sure….Love the name of the group!LMAO.
Thanks Tom
I cannot remember what the leaf eating dinosaurs are called. Whatever it is, they are being hunted now! I like the imagery and the imagination Tom.
Thank you Joe…just having a little fun this week.
Tom
The lily looks like a multi-headed dragon with a healthy appetite, or maybe it’s the pot talking 🙂
Puff the magic Dragon gone wild…That’s some good stuff Russell!
Tom
Hi Tom
Loved this one – I think you’ve outfunnied me this week!
I don’t think so but thanks anyway!
Tom
I’m not scared, they have no feet or teeth! What could happen? Wait what was that crash….. Argh!
Careful the trees could reach out with their limbs…the vines could sneak up on you in your sleep…what about spraying toxic pollen at you? Hey you never know….
Tom
I’m a vegan but liked the story anyway. 🙂 I was actually reading it with a different perspective (like the battle cry of environmentalists), so the surprise at the end was nice!
I would hope no Vegans would take this the wrong way….So I am glad you you liked it. I figured having the plants focus on vegans would be little more extreme and perhaps a little funnier than going after all humans…
Thanks Tom
I’m going to only eat genetically engineered pablum ! That way it won’t hate me!
I don’t know Bill pablum is made from wheat you could be suspect!
Tom
“Dirty granola crunching vegans!” Haha..you so silly
Just having a go!
Tom
Very nice reversal!
Thanks.
Nice concept ! 🙂 enjoyed the story..
Thanks!
Ha ha, Tom! Revenge of the flowers on the mean, despicable vegans. They will be redeemed! Very creative and funny story. It’s good to get a plant’s point of view!
Those darn vegans just taking out plants by the millions.
Hi Tom,
A rainy Sunday afternoon and I’m finally getting to your story. I’m glad someone finally stood up for all us carnivores and put those self-righteous vegans in their place. Great story idea. Ron
Ron,
I hope the rain has stopped over by you. Seems to be nothing but cold wind, rain and snow flurries this year. I can’t wait to see some sun. Burger eaters Unite! Thanks man.
Tom
LOLLLL!! you are a funny man! 🙂
Thanks Abraham,
I tried going to your story but my computer said your page had maleware on it….Glad I could make you laugh.
Tom
Flesh-eating lillies…. gave me goose bumps
Loved your humour with this great take on the prompt this week, well written as always
Dee
Thank you Dee!
