The Beneficials
Hermi lives in a beautiful forest, a young worm with big ambitions of being like his parents who’ve made plants extraordinary, like ordinary worms naturally do.
One day, he begins his mission (to win the biggest trophy in the forest) while befriending a few forest creatures along the way.
During his adventure in the forest, a HUGE storm washes him into an unfamiliar place everyone warned him to stay away from, THE CORN FIELD!
After the storm, he finds himself lost and in a desolate land containing almost no life within the soil. He’s accosted by HUGE scary corn stalks.
He notices something bizarre about the corn and the strange land he's in. "This isn't anything like the forest." He whispered to himself. "There's something wrong with this place."
Hermi is lost, outnumbered, chased, attacked, and captured. Through this dangerous struggle, Hermi realizes his mission is much bigger than himself.
He desperately needs to get back home, find his forest friends, to help save the Maze Community from dangerous pests and chemicals. Because, “What makes the forest so beautiful, should also work for the Maze Community.”
However, he can’t help anyone until he controls his secret ghost. He’s courageous on the outside but frightened on the inside. So much, that it’s extremely embarrassing. When he gets scared, he poops.
This could be a blessing or a curse.
This story is 100% factual in nature and is hugely multi-charactered with 20+ wonderful characters the world has never seen.
From worms to microbes to insects. Nature knows best.
This IS how plants should grow. It IS the Greatest Story in Earth!
