Dimly lit by the fading shades of sunset, the tree was quite a site to behold. The trunk was so thick that it would of taken at least a thousand grown men to wrap themselves around it. It was deeply covered in vegetation ,not your usual vegetation though. Wrapping itself around the tree destroying everything that stood in its way, which was any given life that didn't have the sense to move. Illuminating one of the many giant branches protruding out of the tree were flowers so astounding from a distance one would have thought they weren't real! They were lavender coloured, a lotus flower in shape,but somehow they were floating over what was known as the overhanging branch. The branch itself was black from the same plants as the tree. But there was something slightly daunting about it. But what?

Max, thank you for commenting so sensibly on someone else's blog.

Ben, the rhetorical question at the end adds great suspense and tension - well done.
