The world was a beautiful song, a melody that danced in Clara's heart. She skipped down the path, her mind awash in thoughts of spring. Her tree was a beacon of hope and warmth. She was going to go visit it, and spend the afternoon reading in its shade.

She stood frozen, the joyous symphony ceasing in its track. The space where the maple had stood was bare, and suddenly cold. Her hands balled into fists, and tears blurred her vision. The sun seemed to dim.
