 Once there was a family. The mother, Jen, the dad, Charlie, and their son, Peter. They, unfortunatley, lived on a farm. With lots of flies.
 One day, Jen said to Charlie, "Look at all of these flies! We must do something about it!" So, when Jen was walking back home from the grocery store, she stopped at the florists.
 "Ah! Jen! Just the woman I was looking for!" Said the man behind the counter. 
 "Jack? Can I help you?" 
 He launghed. "No, no, Jen. I have something for YOU. Come on!"
 So, Jen followed him into another room. There, on a table, was a Venus Fly Trap. Jack explained to Jen how it ate little insects, like flies. "You will have no more problems with flies!" He said. 
 Well, they would have no more problems with flies, but they would with Peter.  When Jen got home that afternoon, she showed Charlie and Peter the Venus Fly Trap. "Great!" Charlie said happily. Peter, on the other hand, was not as thrilled. "More like the Venus Human trap." He muttered.
 That night, he had a nightmare about it eating him. He woke up in the middle of the night and told his parents. Then, about a week later, his dream started coming true... 
 It was tuesday night, and a noise had woken up Peter. When his eyes adjusted to the dark, he saw the Venus Fly Trap in his room. Only it was bigger. And walking towards him. He screamed, and a second later, his legs were in the Venus Fly Trap's mouth. Then, all of the sudden, there was laughter. Peter's legs were spit out and his parents came out from underneath the Venus Fly Trap, which was a costume. Then, Peter started to laugh too. After a few minutes of their laughing, there was a shadow at the door. "Mom?" Peter asked, "Is there anyone else here?"  "No. But maybe an intruder. I better go check the cameras." 
 As Jen stepped out the door, Peter and Charlie heard a scream. Jen's scream. They looked out the door and saw something neither of them thought they would ever see. The Venus Fly Trap, or as Peter had said earlier, the Venus Human Trap...
