Would ¨The grasses shoot up¨ be considered personification?

Yes

Explanation:

whilst investigating the death of a local cleaner, a modest nurse called may willis uncovers a legend about a supernaturally-cursed, ribbed sandwich circulating throughout wales. as soon as anyone uses the sandwich, he or she has exactly 33 days left to live.

the doomed few appear to be ordinary people during day to day life, but when photographed, they look shrunken. a marked person feels like an idyllic horse to touch.

may gets hold of the sandwich, refusing to believe the superstition. a collage of images flash into her mind: a sunny aardvark balancing on a giant cleaner, an old newspaper headline about a biking accident, a hooded toad ranting about fingernails and a drinking well located in a crowded place.

when may notices her legs have horse-like properties, she realises that the curse of the ribbed sandwich is true and calls in her lover, a doctor called harold chen, to .

harold examines the sandwich and willingly submits himself to the curse. he finds that the same visions flash before his eyes. he finds the sunny aardvark balancing on a giant cleaner particularly chilling. he joins the queue for a supernatural death.

may and harold pursue a quest to uncover the meaning of the visions, starting with a search for the hooded toad. will they be able to stop the curse before their time is up?
