Short but sweet.

I'm a sucker for tree-themed horror, and this was a sweet little morsel. Just a few pages, but well written. Would love to see this author put down some deeper roots.

Quite eerie for such a short story!
I am sure anyone who has been bullied will appreciate the ending and the writing is pretty good. The suspense is there and so is the horror, can't ask for much more.
