Thwarting the Spread of Evil
Perched on the couch, I spotted an overgrown cluster of garlic mustard. How did that get there? Last year I diligently scoured the yard for every speck of garlic mustard so that it didn’t spread. Yet there it is staring at me mockingly. That’s the default state of that blasted plant.
As I glared out the window willing the plant out of the ground with my latent powers of telekinesis, the corollaries between invasive species and the spread of evil dawned on me. (Please note, try as I might, the telekinesis has yet to activate. Alas.)
