Man..I'm indeed lost...is this some challenge where youre writing a story which fills into another story? Or? Cuz I swear I've read the whole text and I just didn't make sense for me hahah :D At first there was that tree...and someone talking to ted...and ted wasn't sure who's talking to him or? I thought it's the tree...and then...ted is suddenly in the office (probably got there by car)...some stuff happens there, whatever, I'm still thinking about the tree...and then..tree comes again to the story...but it just died and that's it :D
That's my perception of the story and I totally don't get it hahaha :D just came from work tho and my brain is off soo don't take any offense in it if it makes sense :D
No offense taken, it's sorta dream logicy.
