Flash Fiction from a Tree's Perspective
This is an extremely short (just over five minutes in audio) story from the perspective of a tree and the humans it barely understands who it sees regularly and their coming together.
Having the tree as the narrator and their ability to communicate with the animals around them was interesting, as was how far they were removed from human experience. The prose is lyrical and really rather wonderful, but for me the story didn't do enough of anything to engage me. I don't even know if I would label it as romantic, despite the meet cute and pairing of the humans right at the end, and feel it would have been more effective focusing more on the alien perspective of the tree (or allowing a little more time and emotional impact of the romance).
The poetic writing has made me intrigued to seek out more of this author, even if this didn't do it for me. As far as a free five minutes of pretty words competently put together, it's certainly worth a listen.

interesting idea
the idea was interesting, but i felt i wanted a bit more from the story, more coming from the tree's wisdom about humanity, it somehow felt too short.
