Disaster of the Forest
By: Maddie
Our
forest has gotten destroyed and now it’s only a matter of time before
we have to move. Our home is now only a dirtland with few plants
available. I ask my father if it’s going to be ok but when he says
yes I don’t believe him, I hope we can survive a little longer in this
place that I used to call home. Sadly other animals are still in this
area, so we must fight for food if we want it. But us deer aren't made
for fighting, so if we find food we run with it or eat it quickly. Were
still struggling to find food, we’re getting weaker and weaker, one of
us might die. My nightmare came true just this morning dad was killed
by a wolf, they don’t usually bother eating us, suspiciously they have
stayed here way longer than usually do, one month. More disaster is
coming from the humans, there Knocking down more trees and know
boulders, Animals in the forest are running like crazy. Mother tells me
to run as far as you can. I run as fast as I can but as night comes I
learn from other forest animals have been dying off because of the
plant shortage. I’m afraid that I’ll die off to. I met with my mother
just this morning, she’s in no condition to travel and she’s very sick
from not eating much .
I
woke up this morning and found my mother drinking the remains of our
stream. When she sees me she tells me that we’d be on the move through
the forest to find food. For if we stayed here long then the plants
would be gone and we would have no food left. We’re on the move today
but it is still dark , as I walk I see that other animals are sleeping
while other animal families are asking to come along. My mother
accepts,”after all” says my mother “ There’s only a few families”. I
woke up to the sound of bulldozers , I ran as fast as my legs could
go, luckily getting out out the way. But then I realized mom Hadn’t
woken up. Then I froze, I heard a noise , I turned around and saw my
mom. I ran to see her, but as I came up to she collapsed. I looked
up at the hill, men with weird looking sticks looked at her and run at
me. I tried to get my mother up but it was no use. I run for my life,
past forest animals until I came to where the bulldozers stopped and
turned around.
That
night I told my parent’s friends, the squirrels, that mom had died. We
discussed what we would do to stop them and later asked me when we
would be leaving. I told them I was going alone. They understood, but
they asked if they could help in any way , I thanked them for the offer
but I told them I would be fine on my own. I left early at sunrise,
It would be a long journey so I would make stops on the way.
The night creeps over the land fast. But I stop to sleep it the
starry sky. It’s hot, very hot, so hot that I lay in the shade longer
than my normal breaks. When It starts to cool down, I start back up on
my journey. Another night comes without me, plants are more scarce than
ever. I’m afraid that I won’t reach my Destination alive. The
sunrise has come and yet I was up before that. I have almost reached my
destination but I am not sure what my plan is for stopping the humans
from wiping out our entire forest.
I
stay behind a tree, but what I see is terrible. The humans have put
down a hard, foul smelling surface. Any animal they see is either
run over or sent with people into a large building. But there’s more.
The humans have torn down most of the trees in sight. Luckily, I have
this one to hide behind. Now that I think about it, It’s going to be
hard stopping them. But then I think of a plan that will definitely
stop the humans.
