His eyes that felt as it they'd been Superglued shut. When he touched them, he suddenly realized they had been! "What else could happen?", he moaned quietly to himself, suddenly realizing that his lips had been Superglued shut as well. <br />"Good Lord. Have I been kidnapped by a Superglue Magnate? And how trite is that?", laughing at his predicament.<br /><br />By use of his double-jointedness, Sam was able to slip his hands free from his plastic bag ties handcuffs. From there it was easy to get free of his other restraints. He could feel the Sun on his face and he followed it to a place of extreme brightness, which could get through even his glued eyelids. He gently reached up and managed to separate his lids and looked out over an amazing sight.<br />A spreading flat field, as far as the eye could (thankfully) see spread out before him. A sign to his distant right was coming into focus as well. It said "Monsanto".stevehttp://www.stevesnedeker.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043852825601326628.post-7998859312513333812010-12-21T10:25:24.333-08:002010-12-21T10:25:24.333-08:00I'm still laughing over the post title!

You certainly came up with a plausible subject for a garden thriller - but I can't think of an ending right now. My brain is still fried from writing Christmas cards to a million family members (well, not quite that many).

Permanent marks on his nose remained after his glasses fell off during the ruckus. <br /><br />He drifted in and out of conscientiousness but had during one of those brief moments tucked the seed in a torn area in the lining of his jacket. He was sure it would be safe for the moment. <br /><br />Muffled sounds of hushed talking came from the front seat of whatever vehicle made him prisoner.Annahttp://bestgardenblogs.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043852825601326628.post-64105572161301534152010-12-12T19:56:59.189-08:002010-12-12T19:56:59.189-08:00I can't wait until Chapter 17!I can't wait until Chapter 17!Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02389771525430735743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5043852825601326628.post-41860912725033915622010-12-12T07:31:00.749-08:002010-12-12T07:31:00.749-08:00Sam woke to a voice.

Trina gathered what remained of the seed tray, several youthful looking corn plants, in fact the best of the lot. <br /><br />"Whew that was close. That Senator Thomas impostor didn't get away with much. Come on let's get these plugs back to the greenhouse." <br /><br />So you can see this was just a minor bump in the road [and head] for Sam. What will become of the corn? Will Sam and Trina be able to take down the Goliath of glutton and greed?
