All the Trees Are Falling, by Tiffany Jimenez

Prose, chapbook, 24 pages, from Bottlecap Features. A group of childhood friends purchase a plot of land to build their respective dream homes next door to one another. Some are starting their families and others are on the verge. Some are super excited to be so close to one another. Some are struggling to understand why they decided to do this at all. And then a tree bordering their plot of land falls. And then a few more trees follow suit. And the neighboring town, they of course blame the millennials. All the Trees Are Falling examines the intricacies of childhood friendship while exploring the physical and mental cost of getting everything you thought you wished for.
