Helping you help me help you help me…

I am alive, but I am so hungry! It is invading my every thought! If I do not eat soon, I think I may die. I probably die. I must dedicate my life to searching for something to eliminate this feeling. I want to continue! Why do I want to continue, though? Why not die?

This simple world offers more. I know it does! I need to satisfy this feeling, this desire, this hunger. Once I do, I can discover what else exists. I begin my journey. I walk left. I walk right. Wait. I better turn around. I swear I saw something. Yes! There you are! A Colored square in this grey, dark world. A beacon! You are attracted to my need. I need to feed on you. You colored little square you! I see you expanding. You are running out of space to grow. I can help you. You can help me. We can help each other!

A never-ending symbiotic relationship between a Plant and a Plant Eater living in a simple rule

Yum! Yum! Yum! Thank you! I am no longer hungry. What else can I discover in the world? I need more. I want to share this experience. I need someone to share it with now. I am so alone.

Woah! Did I just split in two? Well, hello there, me. That is not me! … Is it? Are you hungry? I can help. Food is the colored square. Eat! Eat!
