Once upon a time, there was a killer named Eric. He was feared by many and had a notorious reputation for his gruesome methods. Despite this, every night, he would venture out to a nearby park and sit under a magnificent tree. He would talk to it as if it were an old friend, pouring out all his innermost thoughts.

One night, as Eric was lamenting about his life choices, he heard a faint whisper coming from the tree. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but to his amazement, the tree spoke to him, "Hello, Eric. I've been listening to you every night. You seem troubled."

Eric was shocked but found himself drawn to the tree's gentle voice. He tentatively asked, "Are you really speaking to me?"

The tree replied, "Yes, I am. I have a name, it's Aria. And just like you, I am a living being with thoughts, emotions, and a soul. I am here to help you, Eric."

Over the next few weeks, Eric returned to the park every night to talk to Aria. She showed him the beauty of nature, the tranquility of life, and the importance of being connected to the world. As he talked, Eric found himself opening up, revealing parts of himself that he never thought he could. Aria listened to him without judgment, and Eric found solace in her company.

One night, Aria shared something with Eric that changed his life forever. She told him that he had the power to change his fate, to water himself and grow. At first, Eric didn't understand, but Aria patiently explained that just like a tree needs water to grow, he needed to nurture himself with love, kindness, and self-care.

Eric took Aria's words to heart and began to reflect on his life choices. He realized that he had been running away from his past, trying to escape from the pain and loneliness that had haunted him for years. He had become a killer, thinking that it would fill the void in his heart.

But Aria had shown him that there was a different way. He began to water himself with self-love, positive affirmations, and a newfound sense of purpose. He started to volunteer at a local shelter and found fulfillment in helping others.

As he continued to water himself, Eric started to grow roots, connecting with the world around him. He no longer felt alone, and his heart was filled with a sense of peace that he had never felt before. He thanked Aria every night for her guidance and love.

One night, as he sat under Aria, Eric knew that he had finally found a new purpose in life. He had overcome his past and was ready to start a new journey, one that was filled with love, kindness, and compassion. He looked up at Aria and whispered, "Thank you for saving me, Aria. I'll never forget you."

Aria replied, "You don't need to thank me, Eric. It was you who chose to water yourself and grow. Remember, you have the power to change your life. Keep watering yourself, and you'll become an even greater person than you already are."
