"Attention, attention, breaking information. The inhabitants of the area are stunned by what they are seeing it is an invasion of living plants, walking the streets, it is suggested to have the discretion to approach these mutant beings."
The media reported the big news, unbelievable to many, who were reluctant to believe what they were seeing. The army had been deployed in the streets to prevent mass hysteria and to defend the population in case the beings were violent.
Everyone was closely following the development of the story and reactions were not long in coming. Some saw the catastrophe falling on mankind, others were cautiously waiting for the events to unfold. No matter what, everyone looked expectantly at the transmitted images.
"We continue to broadcast this unprecedented event, the mutant plants have taken over the streets, and for the moment there is no indication that anything bad is going to happen. The coffee beings are just walking along the asphalt roads. We don't know what they are looking for, but the army is ready to deal with any situation that arises."
The encounter between these mutant beings and the army was soon to take place, the atmosphere was becoming tense and chilling, never had such a strange situation been experienced in human history. All eyes were prepared to watch what could happen in this first encounter with the military.
Weapons were ready and the soldiers had the mutants in the coffee in their sights. The sergeant was ready to give the order to fire, the fingers on the triggers trembled as the minutes passed. Cold sweat was running down the hundreds of patriots who were defending the population from any threat.
Meanwhile, the newscasts continued to broadcast the event. "Much attention, the coffee plants are a few meters away from the military. You can see what is an extremely dangerous situation, we ask all the inhabitants of the area to refrain from going out, their lives may be in danger."
Tension was at its highest at this point, millions of eyes glued to the screen waited expectantly. The mutant plants kept walking they knew no fear or other human feelings. They did not stop in their walk, each step brought them closer to their indecipherable destiny.
"Much attention, kind spectator public. The mutant plants are a few meters away from the military, we invite you to stay tuned to our space..."
The mutant coffee plants stopped for an instant two meters away from the military. Not much movement in that instant, the military's eyes were wandering back and forth, a simple order and the lives of the beings would end. At that instant, one of the bushes lifted a branch and signaled to one of the military.
"Last hour, one of the mutant beings has offered something to the military, with great care several soldiers approach the coffee plants. One of the soldiers takes something from the hands of the plant, we can't see from this distance. The military looks at his hands and makes signs to the others, the other soldiers approach and receive something from the other coffee plants, they all laugh and hug the mutants. The atmosphere has become peaceful and harmonious."
The journalists approached and interviewed the sergeant who with a big smile said, "These mutant beings don't want to do any harm, they just want to give us their coffee beans, to remind us that coffee is a friend, a faithful companion, a giver of encouragement in the saddest moments, a helper in the daily chores giving us energy and a delicious flavor that caresses our bodies."
People would run out of their homes to meet these friendly mutant coffee plants, which gave coffee beans and made people happy. Coffee beans had become an instrument of peace and harmony between two different species.
Coffee flowed from the cups, bringing joy to thousands of people. The mutant plants continued on their way through various cities, leaving peace, harmony, happiness, and flavor in their wake.
