Day 2-In the Factory
I have no idea where I am. It is extremely loud and I am on a moving piece of equitment with some other trees as well. I am being cut up into smaller pieces, like logs, and am being put into something called "Debarking," where I am colliding with all other logs, and it feels as if my bark is being torn from my body, which it is. My bark is then collected and burned as fuel in high power boilers, which is extremely hot! I am extremely uncomfortable and I have no idea what is to come next. After I am finished with the Debarker, I am moved into a chipper, which shreads me into about one inch pieces, which is incredible because I was almost fifty feet tall before! After I am done with the chipper, I am moved into a digester, that pushes me under pressure so much so that I am turned into a wet, oatmeal, pulp material. I have never thought in my entire life that I, such a tough solid, would turn into such a soft liquid, I hope there is not much more to go! I am then cooked again in water to remove unwanted substances inside of me, but I know I do not have anything inside of me that is unwanted! After this step I am pressure cooked for a second time for the fibers to put me back to a whole state, but when I am put back together, I am what is called paper!
