Funny and engaging. Would be even more with living things: imagine starting the fire at the chicken coop... (OK, trees are living things, you got what I meant).
Good story dealing with a favorite subject of mine, "what if the way to immortality was discovered?" (even if my opinions are widely different from those of the author). The story puts you in a string of interesting and unsettling situations and the choices feel meaningful; the ending(s) will surprise you.
