The Island Of Missing Trees Novels & Stories

Antony answers him, slashing through some underbrush with his machete. That’s a lot larger than I thought it was. For some reason, I had it in my head that it is a tiny little island, but it is actually quite big. The mountains rise up in the distance, towering above the horizon. Palm trees and other foliage reach toward the sky. All around us, crumbled streets and buildings jut up out of the ground reminding me of everything that’s been lost here. “Have you used the mind-link to reach out to your mom?” Poppy asks Antony, her tone irritated already, and we’ve only been walking for about an hour.

What a lazy ass, she thought. The place where they can probably talk and scream at each other without somebody noticing is under their big Narra tree. It was so big and a little far from the villa. They say it was a haunted tree, maids, and security from before said so but Stephanie always loved it. "So, what are we talking about?" Jared looks at the surrounding. "This seems a little far. Do you plan to shoot me?" "I want to," she said. "But that's not my point. I want to know why you want this island. I don't want a business kind of reason, I want the actual reason."

The two only responded in blinks, feeling like the idea was too preposterous. “See, I am a woman of nature. I belong to the forests. In fact, I hang out at some random treehouse I discovered one day in the middle of the Western Ridge. One night, I swear to God I heard this ominous sound in the trees—like the trees were singing. I suspect it must be the spirits of the forest or, you know, something much more sinister.” No response. “So? What? Are you in?” Isa and Mickey stared into each other, not knowing who will respond first. Then, Isa rolled her eyes.

After what seemed like a long time I could see tree from a distance. "Is that where we are going?" I asked him pointing at the trees as we got closer and closer. "Yes, we are going there ." He said with a smile. "What is that place?" I asked him. "An island." He said and we got to the shore, there was trees everywhere. It was beautiful. "What's this place called?" I asked him. "Well I don't know yet, this Island surfaced a few months ago, it is not on any map." He said.

They did not narrate what happened to the three of them so one of their companions did not know. They left the area before nightfall. The girl who was left alone earlier in the tree house was still pale. "Guys, let's hurry up and get out of here. It's scary in this place when night falls." Said the woman in the red dress. "Wait, wait why does Shane seem so quiet?" Lester asked. "We don't know Lester either." Said the man in the hat. "Guys, it's getting dark so let's hurry." Cara said nervously as night fell.

" Terrified, Julian scrambled to his feet and fled without looking back. Nancy stood alone in the house that had not changed at all. Regret wrapped around her so tightly she could barely breathe. She had believed Julian brought excitement back into her life. She had convinced herself she no longer needed me. However, now, realizing that even the last bond between us had never truly existed, silent tears slipped down her cheeks. This was the first time since bringing Julian and Rory into the house that she had cried because she missed me. She urged her assistant again and again to find me. When she heard once more that there was still no trace of me, she finally broke. She smashed everything

Massive pillars disappeared into darkness above, supporting a ceiling lost beyond the reach of the lantern. Thousands of tiny crystals embedded in the rock shimmered faintly, giving the cavern the appearance of a night sky trapped beneath the earth. No one spoke. The place demanded silence. At the center of the river stood a solitary island. Upon it grew a single enormous tree. Its trunk was wider than a house. Its bark gleamed silver beneath the lantern's light. There were no leaves. Only thousands of transparent branches reaching upward like frozen lightning. Adrian had spent his life studying myths. Every culture described a sacred tree.

“If you keep driving past that slope, you hit the old pine belt before the cliffs. That ridge up there blocks most hikers, so no one bothers to explore past it. The whole area wraps around the back of Falcon Bay. We used to sneak out here when we were young.” I look out the window again and try to piece that together. I never realized the island had this much tucked away. Every time they bring me somewhere new, it feels like they peel back another hidden layer of home I never knew existed. The car shakes a little as it trudges into an uneven road. It’s obvious that this trail isn’t popular even to locals, let alone the tourists. The towering trees have an air of something untouched, almost a

Not panicked, just compelled, as if instinct knows something that language doesn’t. The front window fogs over on the outside in a single sweeping oval. Like a breath. Jana says a prayer under hers. Kaia closes her eyes, “it’s counting.” “Counting what?” Ingrid demands. “Pieces.” The missing lands begin to hum, the trees bow so hard they might snap in half, like wind pushed through them—except there isn’t any. Elias flinches. “Don’t answer it,” he mutters to himself. “Don’t–”

The transition was complete. The Nexus continued. The music played. But now, the hill was no longer just a historical site. It was a living sanctuary. The two trees, forever intertwined, became known as the Trees of Completeness. They were a place of quiet pilgrimage, where people would go not to ask for guidance, but to remember that all stories, no matter how great, eventually find their peaceful ending in the great, silent heart of the universe.
