THE GARDENER WALKS AMONG US 5

8K Unreal Engine render, photorealistic horror. A decaying field in a post-collapse world, where nature has mutated beyond recognition. The central figure: a lone survivor woman, wearing a ruined 1940s dress, clinging to a rusted lantern. Around her—towering plant-creatures, grotesquely evolved from human corpses: bark-armored, with eyes weeping red vapor, mouths split open with carnivorous petals. Some have broken machines embedded in them. Children with cybernetic implants corrupted by flora wander the chaos—fused to tree trunks, used as hosts by plant spores. Ground cracked and overrun with black roots and glowing fungal growth. The air buzzes with mutated flies, carrying human whispers. Deep in the haze, The Gardener, part-man, part-root system, directs the overgrowth with invisible will. Biopunk dread, eco-body horror, total decay.
