Produce a detailed written description of a lonesome wilderness setting with a stunted oak tree.
assistant
A stunted oak grows by itself, away from the dark mass of underbrush that marks the edge of the forest proper. Half-uprooted by wind or water, the gnarled tree is canted toward the forest, its limbs crushed against the ground, its roots exposed to the air. Yet it survives, clinging to life with tenacious determination as its roots stretch out to take hold again in the fertile soil of the fens.
