Adaptation Hills, SD

The town would adapt.

It was the first major settlement within a thousand miles… Well, couple hundred miles, but a very rough going couple hundred miles. A town built from scratch, by the best negro slaves money could buy.

And then that was made illegal, so the town adapted.

Irishmen could he hired for not much better than slave costs, with some chinamen to do anything technical.

Then that became illegal, so the town adapted. Women were cheaper anyway.

But then came Lights Out, and the collapse of modern society.

So the town adapted.

Or rather, reverted to its roots.
