The Nightwatchman
After 350,000,000 years, the insects get their lucky break
A nightwatchman who works at a pesticide plant meddles with the laboratory's chemicals (where he treats a strange garden of marrow-like vines in his apartment) causing evolution to put into overdrive. An allegorical tale showing the consequences of humans tampering with and abusing nature.
