Have you ever hugged a tree before? Remember the time when you were drunk and out with your friends. You and your friends were walking along a forested road and you that you wanted to use the bathroom. You walk into the darkness of the woods and use the restroom next to a tree but instead of urinating on it, you gave it a hug. A giant bear hug. You gave that tree a hug so long that you fell asleep. Your drunk friends got tired of waiting so they left you while you were sleeping with your arms around a tree.
You wake up. You tried to get off the tree but the tree has two of its large branches wrapped around you. The tree hugged you back. You wondered how can a tree hug someone? You panic because the tree has you stuck. The tree loves you. It doesn’t want you to leave. The tree just wanted human contact and it came for you the moment you came for it.
Your phone has been buzzing for the past 8 hours. Your parents sent out a search team to look for you since you never came home last night. Your friends thought you disappeared deep in the woods and were eaten by wolves or captured by witches or bigfoot. No, you’re just stuck to a hugging tree.
A week goes by and you are still hugging that tree…well, the tree is still hugging…
