I haven't done one of these #fiftywords stories in a while and I'm so glad I'm back at it! This challenge was originally started by the lovely @miniature-tiger, and has been since continued by the equally lovely @jayna. Check out jayna's announcement post: Fifty-word story prompt and contest.
The theme for this round is bark. Here's my entry:
The Magic of Nature
Allisandra placed her hand against the bark of the pine tree. It was warm, and pulsated beneath her soft touch. The magic of nature breathed through the tree, sending a tingle into her fingers and igniting her soul. It welcomed her, and her essence fused with it--they became as one.
Small bit of trivia: The name Allisandra means of great nature.
