How Far Would You Go?
It is six thirty in the Monday's morning, the main highway is empty as if the people of New York are still sleeping and I am driving in my mini green personal car to a federally designated road less area in the west of Pennsylvania which need about two hours from my house in New York. While I am listening to a soft warm, feminine voice of a meteorologist spreading out from the radio in my car as a sleep's gas, which is mixed with the roar of the car's engine,
I start to remember what Ms. Tyrone Tierwater said on the phone yesterday about himself, his daughter, his wife, and how they plan to cut the road in front of the Forest Serves Types' heavy machine operators.
After two hours of continuous driving, I am finally in the middle of the forest, nothing here except for birds, trees and other hidden animals that its looks are so sharp to the level that I can feel their presence without Ability to see them with the naked eye. However, Tierwater, Sierra, Andrea, and Teo are standing behind their middle-class Toyota corolla 1997 when they look at me with a great smile showing hospitality.
'' It is very nice to meet you, I am sorry about the place of this meeting, but I loved to show you how the area is, for more understanding'' explain Tierwater and I nod.
We start to walk beside the road while the sun starts to shine slowly from the end of the road as if it a Projector lighting directly in our eyes. Therefore, we frown and continue the meeting. "We planned to cut off this road by casting cement on our foot to prevent them from killing the forest'' said Teo proudly.
Furthermore, they continue to describe for me how everything was pretty good until those workers who wore the flannel shirts in some blenched-out shade of tartan plaid come back with a bulldozer '' we had waited the rednecks to come back again, but it took them ages to return. However, the sitting on the buckets that we had, broke my back, so I suppose that there is no need to tell you about the diapers that we wore" said Tierwater, interrupting Teo.
We walk to sit under a shade of a huge tree, owing to tiredness after thirty minutes speaking. Despite, the mosquitoes' attacks and the smell of sweat out of our bodies. Whereas Sierra, the little environmental girl who stood with her father and mother in this distress is following a colourful Butterfly from side to side, bringing the happiness to us as we look at her.'' you know, in that day Sierra was so tired and scared, especially when the workers come back finally, but not like I thought, instead of reporters from all over the country, they returned with the yellow monster and start to Intimidate us with it'' Tierwater shrugged.
At the end of this conversation, I put myself behind the wheel and start the journey returning to my office.
Moreover, the whole interview starts over in my head wondering how Tierwater was ready to go so far to protect the environment, even if it was at the climax that he will see his own daughter handcuffed.
His explain was when I asked him about it '' I would not want to remember what that did to my daughter and my wife Andrea because everything in my head was like, Never again, never''
