Appearances
Its face was made of conformed, blended tree knots.
Its arms, long and thin, donned the appearance of branches.
It peeled away and knelt before Robby.
On the wind lay out a low, rumbling whisper.
Come, child, it said, as the planter pulled Robbie close and wrapped him tightly in a hug.
I cried one final cry as the planter stood, took Robbie's hand in it, and guided my best friend to a great knot in the giant willow.
The planter laid its other hand on the tree and muttered a chant.
Before my eyes, the bark of the tree appeared to swirl and morph until a small doorway appeared on its surface.
Robbie turned to face me one last time.
I saw my pal's face for one last time.
The solemn and tear-ridden face of a beaten child was replaced by a smile that reached all the way to his eyes.
Behind Robbie, the planter turned the knob and swung the door wide.
Robbie spoke to me, and he sounded a thousand miles away.
"'Goodbye, my friend.
It's okay.
I can be happy now.'
He turned together with the planter and stepped through the doorway.
As the door faded, I was released from the snare of the willow leaves."
I sprinted to the tree in the center of the clearing, but it was too late.
The door was closed.
