The Dead Tree

The tree stood there, lifeless and still under the gloomy sky. The howling wind swayed the branches violently and the brown leaves began to fall.

Then the roaring of a chainsaw could be heard over everything in the area. The blade made contact with one of its fragile branches and it began to fall. It landed with a soft thud on the ground. The roaring of the chainsaw continued as it began to make its way through the branches. One by one, the branches began to fall.

The blade began to cut through the trunk with a loud screech. It plummeted into the earth and began to roll into the green blades of grass.
