Underneath the Crust [Introduction]

Vines, vines and more vines. They're falling from the sky, landing on cars, buses, trains, planes even. Us humans don't know what to think. Its not like we're living underneath a giant plant and its dropping stuff on us. These vines are falling from the sky.
They aren't hot, burning from the friction of our atmosphere, they just fall. Plop down right on top of us.
WHOOSH!
CRASH!
Mass chaos plays out.
[Insert any Godzilla reference you'd like.]
It was strange, really, the first day it happened. I remember it, as we all do, I was walking home from school when suddenly my phone freezes from all the tweets I'm getting. Let me reiterate;
My phone froze from the sheer volume of the texts I was getting.
That says something about the media traffic for that day, doesn't it?
It was something we all feared; a threat that had no face.
Vines aren't looking for money.
They aren't looking to conquer.
They just fall and land wherever gravity lets them.

We all expected them to start moving, maybe transform into some kind of giant three legged machine monster or something. But they never did.
We expected to find things inside since they didn't explode when they landed.
We never did.
It was just a period of three weeks where giant vines the size of skyscrapers fell to earth. No knew why, they still don't. But those viney motherfuckers sure did wreck a lot of havoc and damage just falling. I sometimes imagined if it would have been better if it had just been a plague of fat people falling to earth.
Probably.

All the governments started pointing fingers at each other, that didn't solve anything. America had to step in and help all those third world countries who just hours before being destroyed were burning American flags. They sure can suck our big red, white and blue dick when they need help, can't they?

What did the giant falling vines teach me?
To go underground.
And that's where a lot of us are now, underground. Sure the vines have stopped, but for how long? I've heard that the vines have been slowly changing the atmosphere around them, that they're mutating the animals and people around them. Not sure how true that all is and I'm not stupid enough to go to the surface to find out. Life is hard enough down here, we don't need to add mutated freaks with retard strength to it.

Yup, I can tell you all about my life underneath the crust.
