Deciduous Forest

While the trees here are alive, their presence is somehow more ominous than if they were dead. For the most part, these trees could seem to be ordinary oaks: trunks bigger than a person’s arm span and pretty leaves that create more than enough shade on the forest floor. But the holes in each tree make up faces, twisted and gnarled to the point of looking anguished and deeply sad. To make things worse, a sticky black substance drips out of the holes to look like tears. Be careful, though: you notice a few large burls and clusters of roots that seem to resemble something like a cocoon. Either something will soon come out of these trees, or they have the ability to trap something within them. Either way, it’d be wise to keep your guard up.
