Life Cycle

1 person enters right carrying an invisible watering can and shovel. Puts objects down. Gets person 2 from right, and carries them on. Person 2 is tucked into a tight, small ball. Person 1 picks up their shovel and digs a hole for person 2. Puts Person 2 in hole and covers with dirt. Waters. Person 2 begins to become bigger. Person 1 constantly looks every time Person 2 turns away. Person 2 grows until it is standing tall and Person 1 is no longer looking and is wearing big sunglasses and reading a magazine and doesn’t care about Person 2 anymore. So Person 2, having been careful before not to move its roots of legs, stiffly walks over and swallows person 1.

  1. If one could solve the staging problem of dirt and hole, might rate higher.

  2. Clever idea, if a bit too short. Don't need dirt or water, but the small ball might pose a problem.
