The Cosmic Gardener
How Zorp's intergalactic heists planted seeds of reform
Zorp the Zargonian had a peculiar hobby: collecting Earth's most notorious criminals. With a mischievous grin, she activated her ship's tractor beam. Plucking those villains mid-heist.
"What the…" exclaimed a startled bank robber as he materialized aboard.
Zorp zipped across galaxies. Her ship bulging with bewildered baddies. She touched down on Rehab-7, a lush world of reform.
"Welcome to your new home!" Zorp announced. "Here, you'll learn to channel your criminal energy into... competitive gardening!"
The villains exchanged puzzled glances as Zorp handed out trowels and seeds.
Months later, Earth's crime rate plummeted mysteriously. Meanwhile, on Rehab-7, ex-criminals argued passionately about pruning techniques and compost ratios.
Zorp chuckled, admiring her flourishing garden of reformed rogues. Who knew stealing thieves could be so much fun?
