Short Stories
and Other Musings
An excerpt from "The Little Tree" AS PRINTED IN
THE FIBROMYALGIA TIMES, FROM COLUMBUS OHIO. Kurt is an FM survivor.
IN A FOREST OF MAGIC AND WISDOM AND OF RAINBOWS AND FAIRIES, LIVED A LITTLE TREE WHO WAS
SMALLER , BY FAR THAN ANY OTHER. HE KNEW THAT HIS BRANCHES WERE SUPPOSED TO BE STRONG AND
ALWAYS REACHING UPWARDS BECAUSE HIS MOTHER AND FATHER WOULD TELL HIM SO."LITTLE TREE," THEY WOULD SAY
,"STRETCH YOUR BRANCHES UP TO THE SUN SO THE BIRDS MAY COME AND PLAY MUSIC ON YOUR
LIMBS." WITH ALL HIS MIGHT, HE WOULD TRY TO REACH FOR THE SKY BUT HE COULD NOT HOLD
HIS BRANCHES SO HIGH FOR VERY LONG. LITTLE TREE WOULD LEAN SADLY AGAINST HIS MOTHER WHILE
HE WATCHED ALL THE BRANCHES OF OTHER TREES IN WHICH BIRDS OF ALL COLORS AND SIZES WERE
NESTING AND SINGING PRAISES TO THE MAGIC OF THE FOREST. HIS OWN LITTTLE BRANCHES COULD
BARELY HOLD HIS LEAVES, AND THEY ACHED WITH PAIN.
