Authors note:I didn't really know what to write about and I don't know how i thought of this but I'm happy with my work.
I started as a nice spruce tree until one day some men I had never seen in my part of the Forrest came. They started cutting down tree after tree right in front of me, and then they came to me! I was cut down and taken away with all the other trees. It was a long ride in something very big, I had never seen one in my long life. It took me to a very big factory; before I even entered the building I could hear the screams of my fellow trees.
Once I was inside I saw what I had been hearing about in my Forrest. Endless rows of paper! It was horrifying! I never believed the other trees when they told me that because I was the biggest spruce they had ever seen that I would become lots and lots of paper! They put me in the machine that turns us trees into paper. When I came out my thoughts and sight stayed only on one piece of paper.
I was put with a stack of 199 other pieces of paper not including me. And I was sent to a school that was put where I used to live! I was handed to a little boy that would tear the edges off of me which wasn’t a very pleasant feeling. He would right with these things that looked like twigs from another tree, they would leave black lines and figures all over me and when I had barely any white left showing on me he threw me into a blue bin filled with other crumbled pieces of paper.
Hours passed and more and more paper was thrown over me. I could still see a bit of light through the other pieces of paper, but then all the lights turned off and we were moving! I was so scared of what might happen next! The only thing that happened after that was we were thrown into a bigger bin and that was a relief, for the moment. I went to sleep and woke up to what sounded like the thing that had carried me away from my Forrest, we seemed to be getting higher and then going upside down! There was a brief moment of light and then again the light fell into darkness.
We were taken back to another factory! Yet this time I didn’t hear the screams I did at the last factory this time I only heard the machines. When I was inside all the paper was in a big bin where it looked like they were being put together. This happened to me and other papers and then we were turned into a different kind of paper it looked like the cup-holders I saw all around my Forrest. I was put into a place where people came to get food and fast! And the person who got me and the other pieces of paper that was put together with me to a Forrest! They left us there as I had hoped.
For the rest of the time that we lived without disappearing because of the rains that came down and ate away at our fragile paper. I spent most of that life looking at the other trees hoping this would not happen to them. For the time I was still there nothing did happen to them no people came no weird things that take trees away came it was very peaceful. I didn’t live the best life but the start and end were the best times I’ve ever had.
