Synopsis "The Rooted"

A woman has lived in her house for seven years. The oak tree in her garden is her sanctuary the place she drinks her morning tea, the place her children played, the one constant in a changing world. When the council orders it cut down because the roots are pushing up the pavement on the street behind her house, she is devastated. She watches the crew dismantle it, piece by piece, feeling like she's losing a limb. That night, she hears a sound. Not from the empty garden, but from the street behind her house. The pavement is cracking. Not just the slabs, but the asphalt. The roots are still growing. And they aren't just pushing up the path anymore. They're pushing up everything.The neighbours who complained start finding roots in their basements. The council workers who signed the order find strange, woody tendrils creeping up their walls while they sleep. And the woman realizes, with a slow, creeping dread, that the tree wasn't just a tree. It was a cap. A lid on something that had been buried beneath the suburb for centuries. And now that the tree is gone, the roots are doing exactly what they were planted to do: they are reaching for the surface.
