The Plant Lady


billy’s Plant has mysteriously disappeared from over his work space. In its place a cryptic note was left (image below). Not sure if this is the start of some kind of extortion attempt or that the Plant took ill and has been rushed to the Plant hospital. The signature "The Plant Lady" evokes memories of the "Log Lady" from Twin Peaks; let’s hope we don’t go down that path. billy is considering bringing in the hand writing analysts from before, to do a preliminary work up on the note. Initial contact has been made but no action will be taken until it becomes clearer just what the intention of "The Plant Lady" is, and if she is acting alone or is the representative of a larger group. Meanwhile, the fate of the Plant is unknown.
    billy would like to point out one last thing at this time. He finds the wording, of the note, very curious, especially the use of the word "replace". In the S.F. genre of cinematic history dealing with human/plant interaction, there have been a number of different stories, but none as powerful and disturbing as "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" (1956 version). Briefly humans were being replaced by Alien life forms that took the form of "Pods" or plants. Let your imagination run wild for a moment and suppose this was not a movie and in fact real life. Perhaps the invasion is going on right now and there is an unknown resistance group that is trying to reverse the threat, and instead of Humans being replaced by plants, they fight the battle and replace the "Plants", with something else. For a more direct take on actual Plant invasion, you may wish to view "The Day of the Triffids (1962)" in preparation of fighting against an invading "Plant" force. Just a thought.
