The Thornthwaite Inheritance
“A BOOBY-TRAPPED TREE ‘Adam, Adam, are you OK?’ Lorelli scrabbled to pull the branch off him. She heaved and pushed it to one side. Adam was lying still, with his eyes closed. ‘Adam, say something,’ she said, putting her ear to his chest to listen for a heartbeat. She felt him move and saw him open his eyes. ‘My neck really hurts,’ he said. Lorelli fought hard not to show the immense relief she felt. ‘Are you able to sit up?’ Adam raised himself up on his elbows. ‘It’s lucky you were wearing tha...t helmet,’ she said. Adam felt the dent in his bicycle helmet. ‘I guess this old tree is a bit rotten.’ Lorelli examined where the branch had fallen from the tree. ‘This oak is old, but it’s still healthy,’ she said. ‘And look, it’s a clean break.’ Adam got to his feet and saw that where the branch had fallen from the tree, there were no messy splinters as one might expect from a rotten branch. There was a perfect circle as though the branch had been sawn off.MoreLess
