Save The Trees

We kick off the Halloween season with this bizarre tale about a tree. But not just any tree. This tree projects a significant fear to anyone brave enough to glance at its grotesque features. Can anyone overcome its menacing presence and get close to it?

Hello folks! We are proud to present to you this unsettling tale to kick off the Halloween season. We asked for Halloween submissions and you haven’t dissapointed.

Today’s story is brought to us by the ever incredible, Ashleigh Hatter. In this story we are presented with the idea of fear itself in the form of a tree. But this tree isn’t harmless. Its disgusting figure reflects the disgusting and awfullness in all of us. The things we hide deep inside. The horrible things we run from and hope nobody ever finds out about. No, this isn’t merely a tree. It’s something much more insideious.

Enjoy,
