THE SEARCH FOR THE
PHASIMARA PLANT
by John Scrofani
Jack Boltob and Joseph
Philke, had traveled all ovf
the world searching tor ne

They had collected every kind
of plant known to man. And
a few not previously know-
Except for two species: one
a plant supposed to be e
tinct for 1000 years. The
other Isalso supposedly
tinct, the strange Phasimara
Plant.
Then, in 1968, they dis
covered a specimen in the
frozen Arctic wastes.
The discoverey made, Joe,
along with his wife, Cora, and
Jack, with his new girl
Janet Cameron, headed for
home.
It was at the same time
that Jack began to experience
odd stomach pains. His own
doctor wasn't able to find the
cause and sent him to a spe
cialist who concluded that he
had contracted the disease
from exposure to the plant
he h3d discovered in the
Artie. The only possible cure,
he said, was the rare Phar
isma Plant, the only known
cure for this strange disease.
If the plant could not be
found, Jack would be dead
within five years.
All this had taken place
three years ago. And now,
with only two years of life
left, there was only place left
to search: the jungles of
India.
In a little clearing in the
Indian jungle stands a little
cabin. Inside, Jack and Janet
are playing a game of cards,
while Joe and Cora silently
read.
Suddenly, breaking the
somber mood, a horrible

denly, a deathly silence.
Then, a huge, reptile-like
creature slithers into view.
Rearing more than
feet in the air, it is
with a green, horny material.
Sprouting from its side are
two long powerful arms like
those of a man, except for
the hands, which are more
like claws. The head of the
creature is mounted on a
thick, powerful neck. Its
cavern-like mouth is armed
with huge curved fangs. And
its dully-glowing eyes bulge
beneath huge, hairy brows.
The nose is flat and broad,

down to the tip of its thrash-
ing tail, a row of curving bony
scaly skin.
Reaching the cabin, the
monster begins to beat at the
walls .with its claws. In no
time, the walls give way and
the creature is inside.
Spying Janet, who by now
is unconscious on the floor,
it charges toward her. Jack,
who has been paralized with
horror, leaps forward to pro-
