Day 1- You can talk to trees and you use this power for evil

I walk through the woods, waving to the many oaks surrounding me- until I get to the very end of the winding trail, where there lies a towering pine with long branches hanging over and providing shade to the lush underbrush. I go up and whisper quietly to the pine, "Fall- tomorrow. Drop. You need to. There's no other option,". Little did this forest know that the next day, a field trip of children would be visiting these woods to study the trees; the trees that would wipe them out for good.
