Topple
Two trees were nearly toppled apart. They had lived centuries together and were in complete connection with their environment. Their love was emmited into the atmosphere on their epic movement into the sky. But one logger had decided that the two trees were sacred in their own right and marked them for eternity.
The logger had to climb one of the trees to see how to remove a tree that had to be felled. On doing so the logger damaged branches on both trees but eventually made his route through the canopy and found a way to take what he had given himself the right to take.
