Present day Korea...
It was a calm afternoon in North Korea, when Elliot thought
where he lived wasn’t enough. “Look at all these unnecessary
trees”, Elliot said. “I haven’t eaten a healthy Ash tree in ages,”
I’M ELLIOT THE EMERALD ASH BORER I NEED TO
MUNCH ON A TREE!”
Elliot is known to always looking for trouble. He glances at
a packaging truck ready to leave, so he decides to leave on
one of the boxes being placed on the truck.” Good bye
home I’m off to eat better and healthier trees!”
FIREWOOD
Elliot didn’t care where he was heading all he
wanted was to eat a healthy, tall, innocent tree.
FIREWOOD
Elliot and the Firewood where dropped from the
truck in front of the Log Cabin. “What a sight!”
Its like a buffet around here, this environment
looks calm and organized, “Just wait...in a few
months this will all be mine!”, Elliot shouted.
Ooo this tree looks delicious, it’s gigantic and its leaves are just
perfect! Elliot tries to take a bite. Wait! What are you doing
sir?!
“Uh nothing I’m just a Forest inspector“ Elliot lied. “I’m here to
check your growth or whatever”. The tree wasn’t sure if Elliot
was telling the truth or not but still believed him. “Oh, okay…
will this hurt?”
“Of course not! I didn’t catch your name tree?”, El-
liot asked. The tree replied,” My name is Ronny and
this is my family, The whole entire Forest, I've
been—Elliot interrupted.” Well let me get started
then.”
Elliot digs into the tree, and as he does, he leaves a
sideways letter D after him. After a few months Ronny
starts changing, he was growing branches from the bot-
tom and the leaves on top were completely gone. The
trees were beginning to ask questions and became wor-
ried about Ronny’s health.
Elliot was actually stopping Ronny from getting any
nutrients like the sunlight. If only that tree knew
what he was getting into.
