Prompt –
Finish the story begins with: “Pizza anyone?”
Pizza anyone?
Aye, Aye, sir. The famished sailors shouted in unison.
The man plucked pizzas off the tree and proceeded to toss them below.
A whirlwind had hurled their ship a thousand leagues in to space and finally landed at an island in space beyond the moon. The island was a huge jungle with no trace of any animal species. The trees were large with beautiful foliage and strange fruits.
The captain and his sailors ate the pizza fruits that tasted of fluffy-bread, melted-cheese, olives, tomatoes and foie- gras.
Their stomachs smiled and the trees grinned.
Soon the pizza fruits started digesting the humans and after ten sunsets there were only greenish black globular structures the size of a barrel.
Another set of sailors reached the space island and wandered past the cluster of young barren trees towards the fruit-laden trees beckoning them.

Creepy! I love it! The sentence with digesting the humans gave me the chills, which is a sign of a job well done! Thank you for participating again in the MFtS challenge, and I hope that you come back next week! Be well….. ^..^
Thank you and Just can not resist …. unless the muse goes on a rest.
🙂
It was a very good tale!
Those are freaky trees! Great story. 🙂
They are; and the flora shall take such a course in evolution if the fauna does not stop exploiting it …… at least in some remote part of the cosmos and may be even here ………
🙂
Creepy indeed. In a weird way, this reminds me of that famous scene in Troll 2 (the “Oh my god!” one), but without the line.
Really imaginative story, and a great take on the prompt!
Glad you found it so. Thank you.
That is a very cool story Yarnspinner, very macabre 🙂
Thank you.
Wow! That was creepy, cool, and creative! I loved it. 🙂
Happy you liked it. Thank you.
Ah, the circle of life. At least they had a tasty last meal 🙂
That they did.
Thank you.
I love the passing the young, barren trees — humanoid in structure?
Great chilling tale. If a tree offers me a pizza, I think I’ll refuse. 🙂
I too. 🙂
Thank you.
Ooh. That’s a dangerous place–cannibal trees. Creepy, Yarnspinnerr. Well done with great description. 🙂 — Suzanne
Yes it is dangerous for animal life because the vegetation learned to survive the ravages from animal life.
Thanks you. 🙂
