"Damn it," Thomas muttered under his breath, kicking a loose pebble across the cracked pavement. He'd been looking forward to a quiet Saturday, a day for fishing and avoiding the world. Now, this.

His eyes narrowed as he saw it. Gone. The towering redwood, the one he’d nurtured from a tiny seedling, reduced to sawdust and splintered wood. His shoulders slumped, the joy of the morning vanishing like smoke.
