My mother always told me to eat my greens. Like most I was a fussy and picky child and didn’t want anything to do with the disgusting looking mass of otherworldly slime that she slopped onto my plate every meal. Give me meat, give me dinner rolls, anything but that!
“Eat your greens so you grow up big and strong. If all you eat is meat and sweets, you’ll just turn into an aggressive thug,” she always told me. Well, I certainly didn’t want to be a thug. I was a nice person, you know. I was always polite to everyone and always patient too. I couldn’t stand those jerks who played football and stuffed other kids into lockers.
“You’ll just have to repay them with kindness and outlast them with patience,” my mother always advised.
Well Mother, I guess you were right. I will be more kind and patient than all the thugs and jerks. See? I invited the jerk over for dinner. Wasn’t that nice of me mother? I’ll even eat all my greens this time to make doubly sure that I won’t turn into a thug!
I just wish that it didn’t take so long for the human body to turn green. I’m getting really hungry and my dessert will soon spoil, Mother.

In my opinion, this story was great! I mean, yes, I’ve seen better, but I believe this just needs a few tweaks here and there. People are saying more detail, and giving scientific facts, but that’s the beauty of this story. To not give striking detail about the characters or setting ect. ect.
But, I do believe that it could be better, eh, I’ll use “explained,” but only for the lack of a better word. No, it doesn’t need MORE explanation, it just needs a bit different explanation. Maybe.
But, then again, what if the killer is a child? Of course, the child would think a human’s body would turn green, and wouldn’t think about getting sick. I mean, the story never said the body turned green YET. It only gave the comment that it was taking too LONG. Then, the way it’s explained makes sense, because, well, what child do you know that explains things perfectly the first time? Then, the mother has even more place.
Why am I giving this long paragraph? Well, I think everyone in the comments should think deeply before judging. That’s what stories like this are supposed to do. Make you think. Ask questions. Stuff like that. Thank you, and have sweet, bloody, nightmares.

I actually thought it was quite good.
this was absolutely fantastic perfect 10/10 genius
This takes
‘You’ll turn into (insert food name here)’
A whole different level
Ha. Ha. Ha. What expected a Long review?
Humph… No wonder I hate vegetables basically this “Story” No matter how pathetic is considered a creepypasta if you don’t get it this kids mom is killing kids and letting them rot until there green so the kid can eat it that sounds disgusting but this story is 110% Crap I mean come on someone read this slowly and it took 1:30 for him to read this it literally sucks
I don’t get it…
Well he could have ended it in a way where he used dead bodies as fertilizers for his vegetable plants
Let’s hope this isn’t like a 6 year old kids first ever attempt at a story who’s having his soul crushed by some of these comments >.<
I like the concept but the thing that annoys me is that the corpse will never turn green. I think that the story would be better if the patience that the character exhibits in the build up was used to foreshadow a dream of cannibalism and not so much the reality.
For example the last line should not be ‘I just wish that it didn’t take so long for the human body to turn green. I’m getting really hungry and my dessert will soon spoil, Mother’
but instead be
‘I just wish I knew if the body would ever turn green… Mother won’t let me have dessert until it does’ or words to that effect.
It alludes that this is his first time and also insinuates that the mother is involved in some way.
Just a thought. I do think the whole thing needs work but the concept is quite a good one.
At least it was short…… had a great idea going, it just missed the mark. Good luck!
so they eat necrotic tissue? that cant be healthy.
necro= black. necrotic skin is actually black
(Deep Sigh), okay.
Guys, I liked this one.
I feel like if anything, he should have eaten the ‘thug’ person with his greens. Like “Don’t worry mother, I’m still eating my greens. I just like my meat so much better” o something. Waiting for an actual human to turn green would be a very long wait (if they ever do turn green. I’m not sure if they do) and would probably make him deadly sick. It was a good story idea!
This story made no freaking sence. I mean,the story was okay when it first started but the last two paragraphs sucked!
Word of advice, learn how to spell a few words. “sence” is not a word, however, next time try the word “sense” then perhaps you won’t destroy the minds of intelligent people with you horrid spelling.

Did I stumble into the VomitPasta section by mistake?
Great story, but it needs some more sauce. Add more details; for a short story, it was unique and acceptable.
To all of you saying the story is lame and a bore, better watch what you say, you might cause someone to commit suicide. It’s called ‘Throwing Down Someone’s Confidence”.
Good Day to you all and a truly miserable night :}
