Another Short story....By Zysin5
It was a fall night much like tonight. The leaves of the old druid trees where turning from their lively green color into the subtle orange earthly tones that should have been a sign that we where all about to go into a change. I never thought it would change me, it was another season. And with new seasons come change. I grab the rake and plug in my Ipod to listen to all my favorite tunes. This time of year is always so beautiful, but always makes a mess of my yard.. The old druid trees fill my yard with their majestic beauty.. The wind rustles threw the branches almost giving life to these trees.. The branches dance up and down as if they are at a rock concert rocking out in the wind.
As I pass under one of the trees, getting my rake into place where I can make one big swipe to get as many leaves as possible.
The leaves begin to make piles upon piles, as I have been working at this for a couple hours now. The sweat beads off my forehead, like the condensation of a cool glass of lemonade in the summer times.
I take a moment to sit down beside one of the trees. Putting my back against the cool bark of the old druid trees. I close my eyes and take in a few deep breaths.
In mid breath I feel something stab into my back. Like a knife going threw butter I look down at my chest and see a large branch sticking out of my chest! I am lifted up off the ground, and blood rushing from my chest, I am turned around and before I get a chance to notice fully what I going on, I notice the trees around me have all come to life!! Within the main trucks of the trees have become open mouths with many sharp wooden teeth. Large Green and red eyes that almost protrude as if their eyes are about to pop out of the sockets which the eyes lay. Evil laughter fills my head, and before I can react to pull the stick arm out of my chest I am swallowed whole by the tree who had me.
I begin to tumble down a dark tunnel, the slant of the tunnel is a straight drop down! Every few feet I tumble over and over, smashing my face into splinter wood. I try my best to grab hold! Only to find my finger nails being torn off by my frantic grasps!
Over and over I fall, for what seemed to be hours! I feel thousands of splinters stuck in my face and all over my body. And where I once had finger nails is a mess of wooden splinters, like bamboo tourter! I hit the bottom of this tunnel with a great thud! I should be dead I think to myself after such a fall! There is not much room down here, I can barely move. I think my body is broken! Then an opening under me opens, and I begin to fall even further down the hole! Till I fall into a pile of human bodies!! Most of them have been dead for a long time! I start to panic and try to move but my body is broken, I can not move.. But I can get a look around me. And as if this was not horrid enough, the site I see puts fear into my soul. As there are many buildings, and an orange sky. But these buildings almost seem as if they are built out of human body parts and skin!!
I then see these tree-plant people all working at the base of this human body pile..These plant people are taking apart the bodies, and almost working them into a workable fashion.. It reminded me of what we do with wood and trees.
No this cant be I say to myself. Why would these plant people use humans to build their homes, and use us for clothing and other such things in which we use wood products for!!
As I lay there is so much pain I pass out from sheer pain and fear..
I don't know how much time has passed by I feel a tug on my legs, and I awake to find I am being pulled by this huge creature. It looks like a living tree but with no leaves and its bark is almost a bluish color.
It grabs at me and lifts me up to where I am looking right into its eyes.. IT turns and looks to some of its friends, and says something.. I have no idea what they are saying.
It then takes my head, and rips it off from my body! Darkness ensures around me, but I am not dead. Far from being dead here. I don't know how they did it, but they captured my soul, and injected into a very small seed.
From there the years pass by, and turn into decades.. I now find myself back in my yard. But not as a human, but as a tree! I can not move, and can not talk! I only have hundred's of years before me, in the same place. Perhaps on another fall night I will come alive to take the soul of those who rake my leaves.
Where I first posted this short story.. Came in 3rd place in the halloween contest! Wanted to share it over here..
