FATED ESCAPE
I start backing up before I realize that a tree that big is going to flatten everything in its path, and one of those things just happens to be me.
Gravity suddenly seems to speed up its descent because the slow fall isn’t so slow anymore. I trip on a root as I scramble back, landing on my ass just as the tree crashes heavily to the ground, taking a couple of the smaller trees down with it.
For a long time, I do nothing but stare at the downed tree. If I hadn’t turned around, it would’ve flattened me, I’m sure of it.
Not flattened, Aerin. Killed. It would have killed you.
