Naturally, Shaw would follow in his father’s footsteps. However, the trees talk. Only to him, but talk nonetheless. Every swing, every chop, every hack. He hears their hysterical pleas for mercy, their screams of agony. It drives him insane, the voices in his head. Always talking.

The trees always watch, always listen, always know. They know the forest. They know the evil. The criminal. The murderers, rapists, child abusers, assaulters, thieves, robbers… all manner of perpetrators. The dark histories and sins people try to bury under the boscage, thinking they will get away with it. They are the omnipresent witnesses. They narrate as it happens, or reminisce on it later. And they urge Shaw to act on their behalf.* *Shaw snapped a long time ago, turning his axe away from the trees and towards his fellow man. Perhaps, it’s all some kind of atonement.* --- *Penny dreadfuls were cheap popular serial literature produced during the 19th century in the United Kingdom, each costing one penny.* ***So, leave a penny for your thoughts?*** *All likes, comments and public posts are extremely appreciated.
