My story for WPC #62
The One Who Was Reborn Into An Ash Tree
{shortened synopsis} By the junction at the main road, opposite the boardwalk from the city park, stands an Ash tree.
At first glance there is nothing significant about the tree, however there are rumours that if one was to wish on the tree for success, they were almost guaranteed it.
While the rumours are baseless and untrue, the tree is magical for two reasons.
One, it can read your mind. Two, it used to be human.
Basically (because I’m bad with synopsis writing) it is about an Ash tree that knows it used to be a human but has no memories about their past life or why they became like this. It also possesses the power to read minds and so spends its days observing humans. The story follows what they see as a tree, obviously getting into their past life in a (hopefully) unique-ish way.
