Sweetpea - A Speculative Eco-Thriller

When a freight train derails in southern Oregon, an organic farmer and his wife Emma, discover something extraordinary from the wreckage: a pod—alive, pulsing, and strangely appealing. From it emerges a newborn girl with luminous green skin and eyes that seem to know too much. The couple name her Sweetpea. But as the child grows, nature begins to twist around her—vines creeping across windows, storms gathering at her cries, and a wolf making their farm his home. The couple’s connection with the wolf, OR-7, draws attention from neighbors, ecoterrorists, and fearful townspeople alike. Emma’s fight to protect her daughter becomes a struggle for survival as the world turns against what it cannot understand. Sweetpea is a haunting story of creation, motherhood, and the thin boundary between evolution and extinction—a fusion of ecological suspense and maternal horror set against the mist-shrouded wilderness of Oregon. Sweetpea blends speculative science and environmental suspense in a haunting exploration of motherhood and the power of nature to reclaim control.
