"Ahhh America, the land of dreams with a flag of the falling stars and the trailing Bacon stripes" (AN: I think the highlight of this chapter is this sentence)

William commented as the delicious aroma of burnt fat drifts into his nostrils as he looks at the strips of Bacon on his plate.

'grandfather was right 'You can't have a breakfast with no Bacon'' William thought before he took one strip of bacon on his plate and placed it on his mouth.

Crunch crunch crunch

The crispy red meat and soft yellowish fat that melts in your mouth.

'you know, there's just something about this crispy thin slice of meat and fat that you just can never get tired of no matter how many times you eat it' William though as he hungrily devoured the pieces of bacon.

Needless to say the strips of bacon are quickly devoured before

Burp

William burped signaling he's full.

As he is rubbing his belly when he started to feel something.

And no it's not the fart building up in his ass but a light tremor. Although the tremor is quite light nonetheless it still could be visibly felt.

This of course startled William as his house is nowhere near any fault lines which means...

'The Apocalypse has finally come' William thought as his heart started to race.

This is the moment he has been waiting for! This will be the turning point of his life! Those people who laughed at him for believing in the Apocalypse. Thinking he has some sort of mental illnesses, Well... jokes on them as he was right after all.

William quickly rushes over to a window to see what's happening outside.

And what he saw outside completely baffled him.

Now if it was a Zombie Apocalypse he wouldn't be as surprised but what he saw outside the window is a... forest?

'A plant Apocalypse? Where nature overthrow a man? that's kinda disappointing' William thought as he looks at the forest that seemingly grew overnight.

Although interesting to note that William can clearly see a sort of dividing line around his house where the dehydrated yellowish grass of his lawn and the muddy forest floor meet.

The clear contrast is quite eye-catching as the uniformly cut dry yellow grass meets the messy forest floor filled roots and dead leaves.

William eyes the yellow dry grass and sights.

That's what happens when you forgot to water it... Well more like too lazy to water it. William thought that it's quite a hassle to constantly take care of it with all the weeding, watering and shit.

He thought that why not just let it dry out and just paint them green. You know golf courses do it all the time, it saves time and money.

And it's not like the plants in the greenhouse where it grows free shit for you, so it's worth the effort besides his dad was the one who took care of the lawn when he was still alive.

In the past few months William has been considering of replacing them with plastic grass, but that's all kinds irrelevant now, isn't it?

Anyway, William looked at the scene for a bit more before he decided to go out and investigate. He of course took a chainsaw with him, as there's no telling if these plants would suddenly attack him.

Now it might seem ridiculous to think that t

trees would attack him as trees don't move duh, but that logic only works on normal times. There's anything but normal about a forest suddenly appearing overnight outside of people's homes.

William theorized that certain plants do move at a certain speed that visible to the naked eye like the Venus fly trap.

It's not that strange to think that one of those plants has mutated a gene for rapid movement and growth and that this gene got spread around through pollination.

'An open mind is certainly useful especially on extreme circumstance.' William thought yo himself.

He has read a few books while fictional in nature but none the less serves as a great reference point. He has read that trees would suddenly grow tree tentacles and would wrap around you and... Cough cough.

Seriously there must be something wrong with Japan... although thinking back he remembers watching an old 1981 movie called The Evil Dead with a tree rape scene.

So... America was there first?

Probably shouldn't have thought about that as it kinda discourages him from going out, even so that is obviously a fictional work as trees obviously won't be interested in sexual intercourse with humans... Hopefully.

So with great courage William swallowed a mouthful of saliva before heading out of his house.

He carefully and gently step by step sneak his up near a particular tree until he is a few feet away.

Although it might look funny to any third person viewer seeing a guy trying to sneak up on a tree but the threat is very real.

William stares at the tree a few feet away before he decided to pick up a rock and throws it at the tree.

Thump

And the rock bounce off harmlessly.

William stares at the tree for a while waiting for a reaction but it seems that it's just a normal tree.

William then starts up his chainsaw and slowly walks his way to the tree.

Brummm Brummm Brummmbambambam...

He walks up to the tree before he held his breath and started cutting the tree.

His saw starts digging into the tree, wood chips starts flying and when his chainsaw cuts halfway through. William then decided to stop for a moment and step back to examine his surroundings for any changes.

'hmm although I still have my doubts but it seems that this is just an ordinary tree' he thought before he decided to step back in and continue cutting the tree until it fell.

After that he is still not quite convinced that these are just ordinary trees, so he cuts down a few more of them. Before he finally is finally making up his mind that it's just an ordinary tree, it's all ordinary trees.

'if it's not a plant explosion then what the hell happened' William wondered before an idea surfaces in his mind as put all the facts he knows together 'there's a saying that 'if you can't bring Muhammed to the mountain, you bring the mountain to Muhammad', what if it's not the forest that suddenly appeared? What if it's him that suddenly appeared? A... transmigration?'

This theory would explains a lot of things like the missing roads, neighbors and pretty much everything else. Those things couldn't just disappear overnight and leave nothing behind.

Trees may grow on top of structures and slowly erode them away, but even so there should still be some remains of the buildings and roads, especially if it's all happening so quickly.

Considering this, William is more or less inclined to believe that he has transmigrated.

'So assuming I have been transmigrated, now the question is where am I?' William wondered as he looks at the woodland before him and then the sky.

He looked up and saw clear blue sky with a few clouds slowly drifting about.

He stares at the clouds for a bit before his left-hand reaches down his pants and takes out his phone.

Naturally, it has no signal as there are no satellites in orbit.

William frowns as puts it back into his pants and heads back into the house to decide what to do next.
