Specimen 313

A mad scientist meets his match in Jeff Strand's short story, "Specimen 313."  The scientist in question is a crazed botanist building the perfect killing plant by breeding intelligent (surprisingly so, as it turns out) flytraps.

The story is part horror, part love story, featuring a flytrap suffering from ennui and the female flytrap that changes his life.  It's a fun read, especially if you've ever wanted to explore the innermost thoughts of a Venus Flytrap.

There is plenty of murder, mayhem and hobo-eating to make for a good read.
