Some trees never make the cut to become a Christmas tree, but what can they do about it? In the short story Overlooked, by Blaze McRob, a Blue Spruce finds a way to extract revenge. How? Ah, me lads and lasses, one must read to find the answer.

A teaser from the opening paragraphs:
He stands alone on top of the small knoll overlooking the tiny hamlet. One more Christmas to be spent with his own thoughts, forced to reason why it is never time for him to join in on the festivities. Always on the outside looking in.
Overlooked . . .
Sure, the wind takes a toll on the forming of the Blue Spruce boughs, but it shouldn't matter that much. None of the trees are perfect. They all share the same environment. Some giving way to the natural forces foisted upon them is to be expected. He is well shaped and sturdy, yet he remains alone another season.
Another year or two and he'll grow too large to be considered a candidate for becoming a living tree within the confines of a house with even high ceilings. Yes, that would be the ultimate glorification: become a Christmas tree and then be planted outside to live a life of contentment for many years thereafter.

Happy Holidays, and Happy reading.
