Hovering

The first pod squeezed through the bedroom window, hovering directly in front of her face, dancing like a charmed snake on its stem. It surrounded her bed with hissing, bristled vines and sharp-edged leaves. In the next room, her daughter awoke to the sound of her bed creaking as it was lifted toward the ceiling by monstrous leaves. More pods were climbing the stairs. They could smell sulfurous fumes wafting from their split shells like jaundiced ghosts.
