Rattling its leaves over the dead biker, the forest whispered its sympathies to the wounded spruce.

Nope. It's not "one" at all. Length Nazi reports that it's way too short to be a Twabble -- which is exactly 100 characters, not counting spaces.

It's still a nice "one", even if one != twabble. :-)

I like it better! Echoes died first. Nice touch.

This is a great story start or mystery setup. Alas, it does not feel complete to me. Probably make part of a good drabble, though.
