1953

"Hey Bobbi! Look what I found in this tree!" Said Dylan, as he tried to get the attention of his sister, who had emerged herself deeply in the fairytale life of every popular girl in the fifties.
"Dylan I don't have time to look at what's inside the tree!"
"But this is scaring me, Bobbi! I don't know how it got here!"
"Oh, fine!"
Bobbi walked towards the tree, wondering what "mysterious" thing her brother had found in a tree this time. He wasn't cut out for lumberjacking, but it was their fathers business, so they both had to help out. She looked down at the stump of the tree, to find what appeared to be a human hand sticking out. She tugged the hand.
"Dylan, I think there might be an entire body in here!"
The siblings got their father, who helped them to carry home the tree trunk. It was heavy, and almost impossible to move, but they were determined.
The two spent months widdling the tree, until finally, they were able to see clearly what had been fossilized in the tree. A human skeleton wrapped around a large mirror.
