Collapocolypse

October 19, 2011. The furrows of collard greens were growing at an impressive rate and all the empty places had been filled with the transplants and the excess plants thinned out. Everything was looking up to an exceptional harvest come only a few weeks. But then everything changed. One week ago we began to notice some slight damage to the crop. We thought it was strange that they should be singled out among all the open vegetables, we weren't concerned then and took the normal precautions of setting up a fence to protect them and thought no more of it. But upon returning the next day an entire row had been eaten and yet another the day after that, we were totally unprepared for an attack of this scale from some mystery creature and despite all our efforts of reinforcing the fence with stakes and even a second barrier, the onslaught neither halted or slacked at all. Finally we were forced to leave the plants defenseless over the break. We wanted to keep hope that something would survive, some lone survivor to carry on the project, but come our first day back, those slim hopes were squashed. Standing among the tattered corpses of what's left of the once glorious collard garden and staring through the fence at the still untouched and ungaurded radishes we mourn the loss of our dream for a great harvest and are left only with the mystery of what caused the Collapocolypse...
