The Acoustic Arborist

A Seattle arborist discovers she can make trees play music in the rain. At first, it’s novelty work—jingles for wealthy clients. Then she meets Gracie, and the music evolves into symphonies.

People travel from around the world just to stand in the rain and listen. But trees grow, weather shifts, and when the music begins to fade, keeping it alive starts to cost more than anyone expects.

A short story about love, art, and choosing impermanence—even when it breaks your heart.
