Every Tuesday I post a writing prompt and my response. It gives me a chance to exercise my writing muscles outside of my WIP, and hopefully inspire you to write. So enjoy my flash fiction piece and post your own in the comments!
Prompt

Write a piece from the perspective of a tree.
Response
I stretch my long branches slightly and they groan in protest. The sunlight on my leaves feels invigorating after the long rains. I feel strong and alive. The damp soil around my roots is full of worms, shifting around in the dirt. A bird, whose nest is in my lower branches, wakes and calls to her mate. Ants, like a tiny threads, run up my trunk. Today is a good day.
I don't think I'd be a good tree. Worms, birds, and ants are not my cup of tea. :)
