The tree was as hungry as any tree that ever existed in the face of man or time or civilization. The long-necked man ate a carrot earlier in the day and now eagerly awaited a train or jet to pick him up where he stood.

wiseacre says:: You've been eaten by a very bright yellow beard-tree.

jnonfiction says:: He'd earlier thought he'd go with a grass do, but decided on leaves at the last second.

jnonfiction says:: Hopefully the jet or the train wouldn't make him check his leaves at the baggage claim. It was 50/50.

Matty O says:: Unfortunately for the long necked man, the carrots didn't improve his eyesight. He couldn't even see the tree's voracious appetite. Meanwhile the tree only became more famished watching the man and his delicious stubble. It looked like sprinkles, yummy sprinkles, covering his face.

folliclejuju says:: but as the carnivorous tree began to chomp down on the carrot eater, the sprinkles revealed the ulterior motive: carnivorous, yellow, sprinkled man eating tree poison. the tree lurched, yet, it was too late. the leaves paled and began to drop. carrot eater, victorious, returned to his bungalo in upper manhattan to once again fulfill his hot dog vendor ruse and avoid capture by the tree clan.
