As if there isn’t enough danger on this God-forsaken island, the alligators, it seems, have developed a new appetite – for us! Once, they were content to share the bounty of the Fens with us, but now they are creeping ever closer to our fishery. Last evening one of our fishing boats was attacked, and poor Johnson barely escaped with his life. His wife has begged him not to return to work, and I can’t say I blame her for it. \n\nI’ve heard stories of a strange sickness creeping over the land, driving the wildlife into a frenzy. I wrote it off as mere hysteria – another superstition formed in a place that defies explanation. But now I am not so sure. If something has tainted he alligators’ food supply, they’ll turn on whatever’s still unspoiled. After all… to them, we’re just meat…

Alligator Menace

My darkest fears are realized. The fish of the fens have become jaundiced and sickly, and many of the townsfolk have become ill eating them. This must be the pestilence that’s driving the alligators closer to town. Without their usual food source, they’ll turn on anything they can sink their teeth into, including settlers. \n\nFor now, the town has enough provisions on hand to keep everyone fed. But those pickled gar and catfish were meant for trade with the neighboring townsfolk. Deprived of our primary food source, the town will surely wither away. And who would wish to stay, with ravenous alligators prowling about, raiding our stores?
