Dryads are usually depicted as female, but what happens if a plant chooses a boy? And how will his parents respond, especially if they are not dryads themselves? This piece of flash fiction was one of the first stories about dryads I ever published. It was first published in the Meniscus Literary Journal vol 8. It can also be found in the book The Tree Who Lived and Other Tales from the Digital Dryad.
