PILGRIM FEAR

THEY DIDN’T KNOW WHAT THEY’D FIND. So they run into this huge continent and beach the boat. But they’re scared shitless. Even though they’ve found what they were looking for, they’re still scared. There’s crazy naked savages all around them. There’s one-eyed pirates lurking in the harbors, licking their lips. There’s wild wild animals. All kinds of foreign shadows. Things they hadn’t expected. So they pray harder than ever now. They build forts and walls and haul in cannon. They rebuild Europe on a primitive land. Everything’s full of possible danger. They don’t trust a soul. Even their own kind are burned as witches. They lynch Indians at the drop of a hat. They fire wildly into the night. They jump at shadows. They don’t play after dark. They bury their dead in secret, in the dead of night, so as not to let the “enemy” know they’re weakening. They start dying off. New ships roll in to replace the dead. They’re determined to continue. Nothing’s going to stop them now. Come hell or high water they’re going to persist. They’re going to spread themselves no matter what. But now they’ve forgotten why they came in the first place. Talking to God is out of the picture, because now they’ve got to exist. Now they’ve just got to stay alive.
