[ WP ] The Mayflower never existed . Rather , the Italian ship , the Fortuna lands at Pietra Plimota . What is different about modern American society ?

George looked over at Charles. The gun in his hand was heavy - he could never get used to how heavy they were. The actors in the movies always carried them so effortlessly. 
 
 `` You know, old chap, I'm awfully sorry to have to do this. But I'm afraid that's how it goes. No hard feelings, I hope.'' 
 
 `` Fuck you, George.'' 
 
 `` Oh, well, that's not very nice. Do try to be civil. Vulgarity is not becoming of a man of your position. Now, would you like a last cup of tea?'' 
 
 Charles was silent for a moment, avoiding eye contact. 
 
 ``... yes. Please.'' 
 
 `` What kind? We've got Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and Darjeeling.'' 
 
 `` An Earl Grey, if you do n't mind.'' 
 
 `` Very well. Earl Grey never was my preference, but there's no accounting for taste, I suppose.'' 
 
 George got up and made the cup of tea for Charles. He untied Charles' left hand and set the tea cup and saucer on the table in front of him. Charles took a sip and swallowed it down. 
 
 `` Not too hot, I hope.'' 
 
 `` No, no, it's fine,'' said Charles. 
 
 Charles slowly finished his tea, clearly savouring it. When he finished, George took the cup away and tied Charles' hand back up. 
 
 `` Now, I suppose we ought to get down to business.'' 
 
 Charles stayed silent. 
 
 `` Do you have anything you would like to say?'' asked George. 
 
 `` No.'' 
 
 `` Very well then.'' George raised the gun and fired twice. Charles' body jerked and then slumped, lifeless. 
 
 George called Phillip to come and help him. 
 
 `` We need to make sure he's found. As a message,'' said George. 
 
 That evening when George got home his family was already at the dinner table, eating a roast. The TV was on. 
 
 `` How many times do I need to tell you? I do not want the children watching this Italian garbage while we're eating dinner! It rots their minds,'' said George, staring at his wife. 
 
 `` Sorry,'' said Elizabeth. `` But you might want to see this.'' 
 
 George looked at the TV. It was the news.
