Describe a dreary scene outside a forest with tree trunks, trees, and a green pincushion.
assistant
The hillside to the northwest looks very much like a green pincushion. Thick underbrush of competing young trees and holly bushes blankets the slope, providing a rolling sea of light and dark green foliage. Through this carpet many blackened tree trunks protrude, giant burnt matchsticks thrust up toward the sky. A few have bits of greenery still on them, sticking out at odd angles, but for the most part they are just charred reminders of a fire long since past.
