In the Shadow of the Colossal Tree

Create a story set in a society living in the shadow of a massive, ancient tree.

The tree’s roots run as deep as the city’s history, its vast branches functioning as shelter, a source of food, and spiritual symbol. How does the symbiosis between the tree and the society work? Does the tree provide protection or pose a threat in times of crises? This prompt calls for a connection between natural elements and societal structures, highlighting themes of symbiosis, reverence, and the impact of environment on culture.
