About
Hello! I'm one of the many Towns' trees.I usually remain silent, since people prefer the only noise coming from trees to be leaves rustling. The residents of the Towns are always so busy talking among each other that I'm never really paid attention to, anyway!
But recently, I've overheard some things from the humans. They say that our Towns will cease to exist, that a huge natural disaster is going to strike and by June 6th, the towns will be so destroyed that they'll never be able to come back again...
But there is hope for me! They say they're going to replant the trees where they'll be relocating, so I won't have to die alone quivering in fear in the wake of a horrible unseen monster ripping apart the land!
...
But I'm still sad, because I've been here for almost eight years... I grew up from just a wee little sapling in the main square. I made friends here, had people hide in me, sit beneath me, attack me, and I always imagined I would die here, surrounded by the Gaians who have cherished me for years. But now I have to move, or I'll die. I have no choice, I suppose... but before we all must leave this land forever, I'd like to share some parting memories with you all... and maybe I can provide you all with memoirs of those memories, too.
