Landisium curaBy: William LandisThe plant Landisium cura was an annual plant native to the West African island of Madagascar. The plantwas known for its ability to cure the common cold. The plant produced extremely high amounts ofvitamins C and D which have been proven to combat the common cold. It survived in the gently acidic highorganic matter soils of the Madagascar tropical rainforest.Landisium Cura commonly known as the “Cure Cold” plant was discovered on an expedition into junglesof Madagascar in which members of the expedition were taken captive by a tribe with limited contact tocivilization. Much of the expedition was slaughtered in ritual sacrifice until they came upon a member ofthe expedition who had contracted the cold before leaving for the trip. The tribe’s witch doctor made a teafrom the Common Cold plant and gave it to the sick man. The very next day the sick man was feelingbetter and the witch doctor then proceeded to sacrifice the man to the tribe’s goddess of good medicineTylenolarius.The last remaining members of the expedition were able to escape from the murderous, and primitive tribeby going to tribal airport, and booking the next flight to JFK international airport. With them they took asmany specimens of the plant as they could gather, and in respect to their deceased friends they sold themiracle plant to the highest bidder, and got paid beyond their wildest dreams.The pharmaceutical company then set up locations in Madagascar to procure more of the miracle plants.In the process they wiped out the primitive tribe that the expedition had encountered, and all the peacefultribes in the area, and overthrowing the government in a bloody coup that sent the country into a decadeof civil war.The pharmaceutical company then proceeded to produce a herbicide that would wipe out all Landisiumcura plants because it deemed it would not be profitable for the company to produce a cure for thecommon cold but a treatment. They succeeded in doing so, and also wiping out much of the flora andfauna of the island as an “unforeseen” consequence.
