The Aftermath (Flora Vs Fauna pt2)

At first everything was in chaos. People got distracted by rhe ominous light show in the sky. Within the hour car crashes had a 46% increase spike, people where mobbing the White House and other people in power for answers and reassurance and for about three weeks conspiracy theorists convinced a lot of people that it was the end of the world. Governments in every country threw their money and resources at scientists hoping to get answers to the public’s burning questions. After just a few months of experimentation it became apparent that the cause for the floral migrations where that they where on a parh of industrial evolution. That’s is to say, plants are going through the same thing monkeys where theorized to have gone through during evolution, except this time it was happening at an exponential rate. As 60% of the worlds caloric intake got increasingly smarter everyone found or tried to find thier own solution. Vegetarianism and veganisim among other vegetable favoring diets lowly died out. This shift in the status quo of food had massive ramifications on the food industry to. Farms slowed production because the produce was walking/sliding/rooting away, grocery stores had to close because the more phisicaly adept vegetables were crawling up shoppers arm and waddleing under foot. Managers in markets across the globe had to round up the sentient fruit and release them into nearby fields, forests, or plots of land. The production, shipping, and consumption of comestibles eventually slowed to a grinding halt over the course of just 6 months. Four hundred-fourty two million people were let go, either because of preexisting debt in the company or lack of profit the result was the same.

Theological discussion and more often than not arguments exploded as people tried to pin point the limit to thier former snack’s intellect. Some argued that just because they can move dosent mean it’s smart, and that was the standing opinion until the plants mental capacity which wasn’t even a thing until now, grew. Every month at varying rates depending on the species the plants grew more mobile, became vocal, attempted communication, and took on some humanistic details. This was earth shattering evidence pointing towards plant life’s connection to sentience.
