You blacked out for a moment and when your vision recovered, you found that the blood of those people had turned green.

Fresh and tender, like freshly picked leaves.

An endless supply of grass was being fed into their mouths, and the emerald green blood converged into a stream, winding its way to your feet.

You screamed as the crowd swallowed you whole.
