Waking the Tree

      The tree grumbled awake as the two teenagers finished their business on the ground above its roots.
      "That was good. Have to love the rush of being outside," the male said as he zipped his pants. The female shrugged and pulled on her panties.
      "I don't know. It was weird and kinda disrespect…"
      She didn't finish. Her mouth dropped open and her scream split the midnight air as the tree swallowed him whole. It turned toward her and she ran into the dark forest, leaving her pants behind. Satisfied, the tree settled back to sleep. It had a long day ahead.
