On one hand, and I don't blame them for this, we were new, and we were scary. We had big fucking bodies, and we were about as quick as they were - given we didn't have their education or emphasis on 'mind over mater'. We were scary looking, and that church, what was it? Before it combusted into flames and a mass suicide with the reveal of the Great Dragons? The one that protested soldier funerals? Whoever, they said we were: "A sign of the end times!"
Just like everyone in those days.
After a few years in custody, most of which was for our safety, we were given a chance to meet with officials, who wanted to offer us a homestead - in the drier parts of arizona, utah, and good part of the southern half of their country.
They needed the good press due to a few bad decisions back in their day, and what better way than showing a kind gesture, right? The only price was that we'd have to express thanks and try not to get into any trouble.
Reading beneath the lines - they had their hands full with some other trouble and wanted to clear away something not dangerous for something that was very dangerous.
We took the offer - and, I can proudly say the arival of a part of my clan in Alabama raised the collective IQ from two tin-cans and a rock to four tin cans and a pebble.
The view of some, that 'If it ain't human it ain't right' can be true for some places - and I've had my fights where I was jumped by those inbred hicks, but, southern Alabama isn't that bad. It's got a lot of secrets, and it has a lot of problems, sure, but they made us welcome, so long as we kept to ourselves, and didn't get in anyones business.
It was fair, all together. We asked the same, and got along amicably. |
