The Woodchuck Dinasty

1. How

The revolution happened too fast.

When the first man died, no one believed it. Researchers blamed the incident on other species, no matter how daring was the evidence of the woodchucks being responsible. They all fell like flies after that, man, women, children, it didn't matter.

By the time military sources came to the rescue, woodchucks had taken over half the country. Negotiations were scheduled, but, on the day, the president was shot down by a horde of those damned beast. The chief of the woodchucks refused to admit he was responsible, instead, he condemned a few independent warriors.

In the crowd, as they were about to execute them, custom under his regime, no one that saw the murder happen recognized the animals to be beheaded. It was understood by all that those were the few opposed to him being in power. Horrified and helpless, humans had three choice, fight, flee or submit their loyalty.

All those who fought in the first couple of weeks were killed off with ease by the incredibly organized forces of the dictator. He became president, taking over the title by an unlawful election, and instituted 'camps' to imprison humans that tried to defy them. Inside those camps they had to dig out underground trenches for them, rumors surfaced that they forced the men and women prisoner to dig with their own teeth. The president, Mister Boo Boo, denied everything.

The few humans that proclaimed their allegiance to the Woodchucks became servants, fouls, prostitutes, begging for a piece of bread in the streets.

Most were dead now.

Except for us. The resistance.

We live in boats, away from those cursed lands, chanting our sea chants to silence their godforsaken anthem.

Our population is few, our chances of survival close to none, but we are alive and for as long as we are, we plan to kill and avenge those woodchucks, for one day to overthrow the false President Boo Boo.
