There's something eldritch and uncanny about the dead and naked tree that stands alone at an overlook by Mile 20 on Skyline Drive. It looks even creepier in the rain:
What ancient hatred keeps the tree at its vigil? What evils has the tree witnessed? Or committed? The thing radiates malice.
It looks like an anti-Groot! An undead tree. The only thing lacking is a stately raven perched ominously on one limb.
