The Living Tree

submitted by Shaaz

I want to share a true life story that happened with me more than 8 years ago. I was in a country called Pakistan. One night, my friend and I were coming back from church at night around 11p.m.

We had church every night since I am a Muslim. Well anyways, my friend and I were running late coming home because we were caught up in something at church. Everyone had left the church except a few people. There was a big stadium between the church and our home and that was the only way home. We were young kids and didn't have a car or anything. Usually the lights in the stadium were always on, but since we were coming home late, most of the lights were off except a few. My friend and I were scared walking alone in the stadium but we had no choice. We were walking very close together when all of a sudden a very strong breeze swept over us. A moment later, my friend started to run away in the opposite direction. I started to yell his name but he wouldn't answer and kept running away. I was scared to be alone so I started running after him but stopped after I relaized he was headed towards a tree standing far at the end of the stadium. He ran over to the tree and was looking up at it. I yelled for him to come back but he woudln't. Then to my shock(which still haunts me) something from the tree reached over and picked up my friend. I could have swore it were the stems of the tree. It picked up my firend and threw him straight horizontally in the air. My friend flew straight about 60 feet, maybe more, and hit the wall of the stadium. He got up after less than a minute and ran out the stadium. I ran my ass out of there as soon as i could, yelling, screaming, and praying to god. I ran straight home, but somehow didnt have courage to tell my parents. i guess i was scared and worried about my friend, and confused as well. The next day, I saw him in school. I went up to him and asked him if he was fine. It turns out that he was completely fine and didn't remember anything that happened the night before. All he remembers is that we walked home.... safely!! I swear this is a true story. i have tried telling this to my friends, but none of them beleive me, or they make fun of me on how a tree can lift a person and throw him. I wish i could prove it to them, because that is one night I can NEVER forget!
