This story takes place during the colonization of the land we now know as Australia, specifically in Van Diemans Land. Van Diemans Land was the original name for for Tasmania, an island off the southeastern tip of Australia. One of the most famous colonies at this time was Hobart Town, later renamed to Hobart. During the 1800’s a serious of bloody conflicts occurred between the Tasmanian Aborigines (Natives) and the Europeans, these conflicts later gained a morbid reputation, and is widely considered one of the first genocides at the hand of the Aboriginals. It is called the Black War. It was my first story written around October of Freshman year. The bulk of it was written listening to “Resurrection Fern”, and I recomend reading it to that.
