<strong>Man Hears Hissing Inside Tree, Cuts It Open</strong>

He Would Put A Stop To It

He was sweating buckets as he spat into the grass. He took a step back to get a better look while holding tighter onto his axe.

He would stop this tree from destroying his entire farm. He swung his axe with all his might, but his determination was cut short when he glimpsed something from inside the trunk.

What He Loved Most

Lucas Brown had a strong love for two things in life. First on the list was his family. Debra was his beautiful wife and they had become parents to Shelly, Kenny and Brian.

The second love of his life was his farm. He had put his all into that farm, and the family saw it as more than just a small-scale ranch. They lived off that farm, but Lucas was heartbroken when he realized that his land was slowly dying.

Tree Farm

The Browns used their farm to sell birch, pine, and spruce trees in their local market. These sold well, so the family also thought to plant apple and maple trees. Lucas was looking forward to the outcome.

Their farm was covered in tall, swaying trees growing in rich, dark soil. They had one tree in particular that they treasured. But the family never guessed it would be the root of all their problems.

A Typical Morning

Lucas drove down every morning to inspect his trees. He would look into everything from how acidic the soil was to how healthy the trees themselves were looking.

That morning, he got up early for the daily check-up, joined by his youngest son. Lucas and Kenny would find only what they least expected.

A Different Smell

Lucas first noticed a burning stench lingering in the morning air. The foul smell mixed in with the usual smell of leaves, tree bark, and wet soil.

They hardly explored the farm on foot, but today Lucas suggested to Kenny that they continue on foot. Something was wrong, and they needed to find out what it was.
