I absolutely love it! Is it the tree that kills the man, or the man's fantasies that do him in? Or, is it mother nature taking back an unruly child? Or, does the tree need man (or a man) to become whole again? I don't know the unknowable answers, and that's why this is so beautiful. Well done, Irshaad.

Well that went somewhere I was not expecting. Really enjoyed the dark twist at the end.

Strangely, the twist was not my original aim - and yet that’s where it ended up going.
