The image of the tree, now a mangled mass of branches, was seared into her memory. She closed her eyes. The scent of pine was overpowering. A sense of unease settled over her. She took a shower, washing and rewashing her hair and body. It didn’t help.

She began to pace. She tried to focus on the trivialities of daily life, making her coffee. But the details seemed to disappear. She picked up a book, but the words swam before her eyes. The world seemed to shrink, closing in on her. The only thing she wanted was to escape herself.
