Blood in the Truffula Rings A story by River W. I am the Lorax, I spoke for the trees. That was until it showed up and ruined everything. It hurt them. I had no choice but to stop it. The Once-ler came in and tore families apart. He was in a form that I had never seen before… he was tall and gangly but he wasn't just a tall person, in place of his hands were long bony claws. He had an unnerving grin that wasn't quite right. As he started to chop down the trees, I warned him that his actions would have consequences. But he continued chopping them down now faster than before. Then I saw it, his true form… He was easily 3 times my height, towering over even the trees. The trees I swore to protect. He was killing them, my children, the creatures of the forest. The bears in the trees, fish in the river and birds in the sky. My babies… That's when I fought back against this monster. I fought and fought but to no avail, he was too strong for even me. So I took them as far away as I could. We ran till they couldn’t run any longer. All I know is he found us, I don't know how but he did… I protected them with my life but it wasn't enough… As I lie on the ground dying I mumble, I'm sorry I couldn't protect you, I'm sorry I say crying -River🦦
