I was having a great time living in the forest as a tree blowing around in the wind with no care. Until the lumberjacks came, first they chopped down all my friends with there axes and saws then they were heading toward me the only tree left they chopped me down then carried me off. Oh it was so relaxing being a sand dune in east michigan sitting there having fun talking to all my other sand dun friends until, they came with there shovels and scooped us all up i they too us all and brought us to giant ovens. Sitting down below the surface of the earth as metal ore was awesome until the miners ca they dug all of us up all ht metal and to us to giant ovens. (Six months later 1916 now there all combined as a trench periscope) wow that was a crazy journey going through ovens getting combined with other materials i look on the side of myself it says trench periscope huh. And suddenly i'm taken out of a dark place and placed on a dirt mound. I'm in a trench in ww1! I thought to myself. There was a soldier whose backpack i must have been in looking through me.  I could hear a whistle and people rushed up to the top of the and into nomads land bullets started flying and i could a see a hundred bodies fall faster than stones in water. There were german snipers shooting so fast and accurate nobody could get through except for one guy who almost made it hiding behind somebody else till that person got shot leaving him wide open right in the middle of nomans land then a boom! Faster than lightning a bullet was through his chest and he was on the ground all I wanted to do is go back to the giant ovens away from this place. But there was no going back all I saw was this terrible sight and heard these terrible sounds for 2 years. Until finally it all stoped and i was left there in my own peace to become one with the earth once again.
