Mantree

Man & Tree. There was a spruce tree in the forest, he had watched it grow from spindly sampling to a handsome young tree, and thought of it as the son he never had. But shortly before Christmas it disappeared he went to the market in town where they sold hundreds of trees for those who want the real thing, but couldn’t find it there. After the festivities he found his tree on a dump, green needles gone, now it was brown, he took the dead plant home and used as kindling to lit the fire on cold, soggy days.
