As Jim was walking along the trail, the box that held the plant seemed to shake. While he was climbing, it suddenly went off balance and started to tip over. Jim grabbed it with both hands as it was falling, but in his haste he grabbed it so tightly that the plastic cover ripped.
A leaf of the plant reached out and grabbed onto Jim's finger.
"OW!" Jim pulled his hand away, dropping the box. The leaf seemed attached to his finger. He tried shaking it off, but it wasn't going anywhere. Suddenly his whole arm felt like it was on fire. Jim tried to shout out but he suddenly didn't have the strength to make a sound. He lifted up his arm to try and fling the plant off of him, but then he saw that his arm was covered in vines and leaves. The pain spread to his chest and torso. Jim began to see spots in front of his eyes and he slowly passed out.
