The Plymouth Feast (100 words)
Nov. 24th, 2011 08:05 pmThe Massachusetts colonists brought insufficient food to last the winter. Luckily, they befriended the local indigenous tribes, who pitied the starving Europeans and taught them to survive using the Native American skills of matter transmutation and teleportation.
A celebratory feast was held. Roast haunch of Siberian Mammoth was served, dressed with pudding made from synthetic molecules. Exotic spices from Cathay and Batavia were procured, and Colonists and Indians alike toasted each others' health with impossibly distilled alcohols.
But even then, the colonists secretly dreamed of relegating the tribes to pocket dimensional reservations. The Americas would be theirs, and theirs alone.
