E.M The Tree of Life.

 She Held hope in her outstretched hands, Kneeling gently on the ground, she prepared herself for what she knew she must do. The cool water trickled through her muddy fingers, and the soft, black earth felt comfortingly warm on her palms. 

Planting the tree of life would mean a new beginning. The opportunities were endless...

Feeling the excitement course through her quivering body, she lowered the tree of life into the small hole she had prepared. It was time...

It was a sunny, hot, scorching day in the ver hot, Australia., well isn't it every day? Stella whispered in her head.  She was watching her creepy old neighbor Mr. Grass Worm, While he was cutting down all the trees in his front yard.  Stella always thought he was weird. Stella and her family moved to Australia 5 years ago, she lived there for exactly half of her life.

When Stella first moved into her new home Mr. Grass Worm was a happy cheerful man, until his wife died from Cancer. Ever since the incident happened, he had always been grumpy, sad, most of all SUS.. Stella just thought he was sad because of his wife dying or was it something else? 

Well, back to what Stella was actually doing. Stella was planting a tree, but not just any old tree, it was a special tree, the Tree of Life! She recently got this tree from Mrs. Oldie. Mrs. Oldie worked at the plant shop down the road. The old lady always felt like she and Stella were connected somehow, so did Stella. So she gave Stella a special plant, called The Tree of Life! The Tree of Life could bring life! It could plant millions of more trees, but only if she planted the tree first. 

So she started to plant the tree. The tree had to be fully grown first then the millions of trees would be planted.

After she planted the special tree, she went inside. The next morning the tree was massive. It was almost ready! Then she saw Mr. Grass Worm trying to cut down the important tree! She ran downstairs. Mr. Grass Worm saw her, then he hurried aways into his old, creepy home. While he was running away something small fell out of his pocket. It looked like a small diary. 

She picked the small book up and started to read it. She was horrified. In the book, it said '' How I shouldn't have killed my dear wife''. She was shocked! Straight after she finished reading the sentence in the book she looked up at his house. He was standing there behind the curtains staring at her out the dusty window. He glanced creepily at her. He started to write something on the dusty window while blood dripped down the window. The sentence said  '' Your next''.
