Samantha Eaton: oh you think a weird tree is scary? Eaton: check this Eaton: Submitted for the approval of the midnight society, i call this the tale of the evil tree Eaton: what if there was a tree Eaton: that was SO evil Machen: now we're talking

Eaton: when you disappear into the deep woods, its like the trees just ate you up Eaton: you know those trees Eaton: always hungry, always ravenous Eaton: always ready to gobble you up Eaton: nom nom nom Eaton: thats the sound the trees make

Eaton: so the woods are so deep and dark Eaton: like its going to swallow you up Eaton: but also there's an evil tree that does eat you Eaton: cuz there's a monster in it
