Greener Than You Think

The story follows the discovery of a biological agent that accelerates and alters grass growth, leading to a continent-spanning invasion of vegetation that resists control. As the modified grasses overrun farms, cities, and machinery, human institutions struggle to contain the ecological cascade, provoking economic disruption, social upheaval, and improvised strategies for survival. The narrative charts scientific ambition, unintended consequences, and the ways communities adapt or fracture under environmental transformation, interweaving technical description of the growth phenomenon with satirical observations about commerce, governance, and human stubbornness.
