Underneath The Oak Tree Novels & Stories

Something distinctly calming about it. I counted the oak trees until I reached my favourite tree of them all. It was the oak tree near my favourite spot. The sight which greeted me was breathtaking. It was a secluded corner, covered with shrubs of bright green grass. Within lay an alcove, hidden away from view. It was barely noticeable if you were not familiar with it. Pushing aside the shrubs, I sat under the shade, glancing around the woods. My thoughts ran riot in my head as I watched the stillness of the woods. I was confused and heartbroken at the same time.

“It’s not possible,” Mac said quietly, standing at the edge of Hope’s garden, looking at the small oak sapling with its cluster of pale, impossible blossoms. “Oaks don’t flower in October. They barely flower at all in the traditional sense. Something else must be growing through it.”

The path twists and turns, leading me deeper into the woods, with moonlight filtering through the leaves above. As I turn a corner, the trees suddenly open up, revealing the clearing. The moonlight floods the area, illuminating it like a silver spotlight. The place is circular, with a few trees scattered around, their branches reaching towards the center. In the middle of the clearing there is a huge oak tree, its trunk twisted with age, its branches stretching towards the sky. And the moonlight creates deep shadows, making the tree look even more impressive and ancient. The air is still in the clearing, as if the forest itself is holding its breath.

Snow crunches beneath my bare feet, and the wind is frigid on my skin. The space beneath the evergreen’s branches forms a more sheltered area, away from the cold and snow. I drop to the ground once more and lean back against the tree trunk, because I don’t feel like I can fully keep myself upright without a little assistance at the moment.

We need to sneak around using the construction sights to keep under cover and when I mention that Sky takes the lead with me behind him. “There.” I point out to the grove of oak trees and to the largest tree with a treehouse hidden deep in the leaves. We are hidden in the half finish house of one of the residents staying in the hotels, the shadows keeping us safe while we wait to see if anyone is watching for us.

I lived just across the creek. Then, I saw the children playing. Near them, there was a puddle that starts to recede at the edge of the river. With their snot dangling, they cheerfully played partially naked under the umbrella of the cherry tree. Indeed, the night before, the rain fell heavily. But then, it was the sun that does not want to lose to show off its power.

He draped it over his shoulder. Kade always did things with purpose, so it was nice just to meander, no destination or agenda in mind, talking to Eliza as they wallowed in the lazy afternoon.

A backdrop of long, gold and brown grasses, stubby groundcover the color of cinnamon, sagebrush, and the occasional yellow daisy popped up, all blended seamlessly past the barbed wire fence and across the pasture. An oak tree with gnarled branches grew in the middle of the backyard. Usually only scrub oak survived and they never reached that size. He stopped under the canopy of shad

His cap snagged on branches as he soared past the oak tree, darting around the birch trees' delicate black and white trunks. He came to a complete stop a meter away from the oak, but they were nowhere to be found. He took a cautious tour around the tree, his little feet stumbling over the awkward roots. He secretly hoped they were simply hiding, ready to burst forth with laughter and startle him. He shuddered. Obligichaun looked again, but the forest was empty.

I walked all alone until I reached what appears to be the centre of the woods. There were many good spots where an individual could sit down to rest or meditate. I was confused because I don't where to sit. Finally, I found a spot which I thought will be great. That spot was beneath an oak tree. There was a huge rock under the tree, where we were I sat down and allowed the ambient breeze to feel my lungs. They were so cool and comforting that I began feeling sleepy. Indeed, I fell half-asleep within a few minutes.
