The decay was not a sudden event, but a slow, anatomical surrender. She had been the centerpiece of the grove for three centuries—a towering silhouette of silver-bark and weeping willow-hair—but the blight had finally reached her marrow.
She stood in a permanent, agonizing arch, her arms extending into a canopy of skeletal fingers that clawed at a sky she could no longer feel. To a casual observer, she looked like a monument of charcoal and ash, a woman frozen in the moment of a scream, carved from the very earth. But the forest knew her. The mycelium beneath her root-feet whispered of her thinning sap and the way her heartbeat—a low, thrumming vibration that kept the soil fertile—was skipping beats.
The blight didn't start in the leaves; it started in her memory.
First, she forgot how to hold the rain. Then, she forgot how to anchor herself against the autumn gales. Now, the physical dissolution was beginning. Her skin was peeling away in long, papery strips of grey bark, revealing a core of iridescent, dying amber.
A young deer paused at her base, sniffing at the fallen eye—the peach-like orb of resin and seed. The deer didn't know it was witnessing a collapse of an ecosystem. It only knew that the air around the woman-tree tasted of old honey and ozone.
As the sun dipped, casting long, distorted shadows, the silhouette of the tree shifted. The wind didn't blow through her branches; it blew *through* her, for she had become more void than wood. The gaps in her torso were now wide enough for the moonlight to pass through, projecting a jagged, feminine shadow across the moss, an image of a goddess who had simply run out of time.
She felt the final fracture beginning in her pelvis, a hairline crack that sounded like a gunshot in the silence of the woods. She didn't fight it. To fall was the only way to feed the seedlings growing in her shadow.
She leaned forward, not in a crash, but in a slow, graceful bow, the silhouette of a woman finally lying down to sleep, her crown of dying leaves brushing the earth one last time.
