Colonization (The Seamus Chronicles book 3)
“I’m reminded of the first days of spring back in New Hampshire. Once the snow melted and the temperature warmed into the 50s people started going back outside.
Grace is holding one end of a long string and on the other side is my mother. She waves my sister in one direction and then back in the other. After too much time fine-tuning she shoots a thumbs up and they both tie off the string to a tree.
“Heads up.” I hear my brother call.
When I’m able to locate him on the ground the other side of m...om’s string he has his own string. My brother is filthy but has the biggest smile I have seen from him in weeks. On the ground next to him is a tree, cut off low near it’s base.
I didn’t think we were felling trees and I’m not sure how I feel about it. We have no idea how long it took for these trees to grow here. What if they are thousands of years old? It seems that there are enough of these trees that taking down a few won’t permanently destroy the atmosphere, but I still wish we could leave them standing.MoreLess
