Unbeknownst to most humans, trees record everything that happens to them, and hold the stories in their rings. You are able to feel what the trees felt when you touch these rings, and have found yourself a job as an arborist. A friend of yours has samples from one of the world’s oldest trees, and invites you to study them. You get to a ring close to the center, and instead of receiving a feeling, you receive a message.
