A 55-Word contest entry. A young boy regains the safety of a favored haunt.
Buzz!

I watch the old walnut tree fall. The tree house, a haven in which my son spent many summer nights sleeping, is gone forever.

Now, walnut planks stacked beside the saw await their fate.  Lovingly crafted, the boards become an heirloom--a poster bed.

He sleeps again in the bosom of an old friend.
