It all started the day I exchanged energy with a particular tree in the graveyard. Shortly after this exchange of energy, I began to notice weird sensations in my arms and legs, then I noticed my veins morphing into what appeared to be roots.

After about three days of growing roots on my arms and legs, something unique happened, I began to spout stems,leaves and buds all over my body.

Much to my amazement, a tiny bloom appeared on my pinky finger. Intuitively, my flowered finger moved towards my nose and I caught a whiff of sweet sunshine.

I was turning into a walking-talking, flowering human tree and it felt arborescent. It was my destiny to live the “tree life” here after!

Excitingly, I got the urge to go outside and stand in the front yard in an upright position with my arms outward for balance. My hair was a mass of small branches swaying back and forth in the brisk wind.

I felt free, free to be a tree

And, it made me happy

Mom can now decorate me for Christmas
