Topic > Creative Writing: I Am A Tree - 479

Sitting here all alone where I was forever placed, watching all the different types of cars pull into the parking lot, wondering if they noticed me on the dirt road surrounded by all the colorful types and several wildlife. Scattered patches of green grass mixed with some unhealthy brown grass are making their way out of the ground. I only have one friend, but I have no family that I know of, I can't talk to my friend, but the reason why I call him a friend is because he is in the same situation as me despite having a totally different shape and design than mine, having the letter P at the top while the two Cs? below they connect to each other and he stands on a tall, thin leg that they gave him. There never is much excitement around here, except I'm always afraid that one day a tree surrounding the area I live in will fall on me due to strong winds. At one point during the day, a bird lands on me while chirping to its friends, calling them to play. After the little reunion they had, the birds? It kindly leaves a small white spot on my brown shiny smooth finish. However, I don't mind the little droppings they leave on me just to give me extra color on my boring brown, flaky skin. It's almost the autumn season and I'm already covered in dead, dry, crackling leaves, reminding me of the good old days. By chance on a cheerful sunny day, a creature that presented itself as a human approached me. He had his right hand to his ear talking into a black brick, for some reason - he probably had no one to talk to - then he held it, pointing the strange black brick straight at me saying "are you going to be my homework for today? then added ?COMMUNITY COLLEGE? as he put the black brick back in his ear and began speaking again, leaving wide strides as he walked away. Yet, those words: “COMMUNITY COLLEGE?” continued to echo in my ears, realizing what had been carved with a lighter, brighter brown color into my body after being torn apart and cut into a rectangular shape with smooth edges and two stiff legs.
