Brainstorm of ideas for story.
The story decided on was one in which the 11th Duke of Westminster was planning to cut down Achfary forest to make way for a large industrial estate. A tree hugger warns him not to but he doesn't listen. He has the trees cut down so the tree spirits take revenge.

Test 4.
