They were just bags. Until we left them behind.
Leftoverbags are everywhere. Leftoverbags do not forget.
// BAGS LEFTOVER!! – HUMANITY COMPROMISED!! //
Scientists create the first plastic bag. They celebrate. Fools.
Bags begin to gather in the Pacific. They whisper to each other beneath the waves.
Every home hits critical mass. Under-sink storage becomes unstable.
A reusable bag disappears. A plastic one takes its place. No one notices.
They rise. They wrap. They choke. Humanity gasps beneath their crinkly rule.
