Traveling Alpaca Stories: Green Monster

What is this green monster?

Since I was left alone today, I decided to do some investigating in my new house. Seeking adventure, I vowed to be brave no matter what I came upon.

Unfortunately, I happened upon one of the scariest creatures I have yet to see. I believe this to be a plant, but its leaves are so thick they may well as be green arms, and they are spiny and twisted at that.

Old alpaca legend speaks of a plant that will grab those who move too close and refuse to let them go for all time. I fear I’ve stumbled upon a plant of similar danger here in my very own home.

And so, this is where I shall sit, hour after long hour, waiting for the girl with the purse to come home. How long must she take to rescue me from this green demon?
