Growth

The flood crashes through the dry dusty plain, hungry for land.
The people sprint like cheetahs, but they are no match for the monstrous being.
It destroys everything as far as the eye can see.
Only a single tree survives, a glimmer of hope in the darkness.
Slowly, the land rebuilds itself, healing all the scars and bruises.
The tree grows into a breathtaking forest that feels endless.
The forest is inherited by millions of animals, plants and trees, thriving in this new environment.
The forest is big, bright, and beautiful. The forest is life.
