'North Fork': Lost Cleat {Roanoke}

A Story by Abishai100

Can American Homeland history/legend offer some hyperbole-image for curiosities in settlement/exploration adjectives (colonial era)?

A fictional drama-allusion of the mysterious story of the Lost Colony of Roanoke (American history/legend). Thanks for reading (Happy Summer!),

DISCLAIMER: This work of history-mythology and creative fiction offers no ties to any representative person(s)/body (e.g., Dare County, North Carolina) and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression for social arts (for 'open' critiques).

My names Elanika; and I moved to the New World USA (as a 'Rapunzel' of globalism), which is what you still might call it, even though the American Empire is now well-established as the Big-Brother of 21st-Century capitalism/media, and I'd been living in Eastern Europe and trekked to the American Homeland during the Russo-Ukraine War of the new millennium. I had considered myself a Selfie-grids commentary superstitions messenger in search of some comfort-truth of what made the USA a special environment storyboard for lifestyle/culture readings of leviathan (sure).

The American Homeland was challenged by 9/11, the Boston Marathon terror, Wall Street protests, and the Coronavirus (wow). Well, I decided to travel from my new hometown (Boston-town) to North Carolina (Dare County), where'd I be able to erect this special imagery-rich language reading concerning a research proposition of the legend of the colony of Roanoke, a page in the American history/books of this New World's challenges as a 'good-son' of Earth's culture-blending/complications. Follow along in my time-capsule (buried in my backyard for future-world archaeology and examination).

Well, Roanoke was settled by English colonial explorers of North Carolina, with goods/exchanges 'anticipations-cleats' like New World tobacco, alongside the Native-people known as the Croatan (led by 'celebrity' Natives/tribes-folk like Manteo the traveler). Today, Dare County (North Carolina) finds Native folks of tribes/nations like the Waccamaw Siouan who nevertheless wonder about Roanoke-mystery and why the eerie mystery-word 'CROATOAN' was etched into a tree in the colony from which all English colonials/settlers simply...vanished (without trace!). This made for rich storyboards about English-Croatan interactions, Manteo and other leaders of that age like John White himself, and these boards offered rich imagery for settlements/villages (of Croatans) and modern North Carolina dioramas for street/exchanges language (of perhaps the Waccamaw Siouan).

I, Elanika, native of Eastern Europe and new 'bride' of the American Homeland, had to wonder in this 'examination' of Dare County what (exactly!) had happened to those Lost Colony folk, and what 'CROATOAN' meant for this (North) American page-mark for roads-fork confounding 'thorn' of Earth's helmets in leviathan/uncertainty. Did the Roanoke settlers flee from the Croatan Indians and were given some haven/island of invisibility by the nearby tribe-folks of other groups like the Waccamaw Siouan?

SIOUAN: You're such a thorn-bird, Ukraine-lady (Elanika)!
ME: Me merely curious about Carolina study for Roanoke image, friend.
SIOUAN: Maybe you're shrewd in your theories; maybe we hid the colony.
ME: From perchance some offensive/dangerous message of the Croatans?
SIOUAN: Well, 'CROATOAN' certainly sounds like 'Croatan' (for Native-term)!
ME: Or maybe the colony wanted some folding-cave eternity with your aid.
SIOUAN: If it's our secret, we'd not be at liberty to disclose such a truth, lady!
ME: Of course not...this is an 'academic' pursuit of the thorns of Earth (helmets).
SIOUAN: You should write a 'hypothesis' novel concept (or time-capsule telling).
ME: Thanx friend (Selfie-like).
SIOUAN: Good fortunes for you, Elania; we offered you our peoples-greet image.

ME: Without doubt (farewell).

I decided my pursuit of 'knowledge' for history's image in storyboards and customs-relevance for the inventive 'toylands' of capitalism and culture-exchange yielded an image-rich time-capsule word/adverb for Roanoke-value and Native/colonials hand-axes for interactions in thorny mystery. I thought about how the self-image of human special body-postures and group activity (or 'behavior') contoured nicely with shaped intrigue of clay/cleats (sure).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I've been exploring the same question(s), Elanika.
ME: You're an Algerian immigrant and now Catholic-American citizen!
SATAN (Amlan!): A lot like you, Ukraine-lady of studies (ha).
ME: You think 'CROATOAN' has link with 'Croatan' Indians (Dare County)?
AMLAN: I like your 'concept' that the colonists were 'veiled' by aides.
ME: Like the Waccamaw Siouan (maybe, doubts).
AMLAN: That they were 'threatened' by the Croatans (word-similarity).
ME: What's your hunch, Mr. Satan (hmmm)?
AMLAN: My thorn-birds theory differs (altogether), Elanika darling.
ME: What's it, then?
AMLAN: I think CROATOAN signifies a New World escape (from England).
ME: Something for pre-Revolution banks, Satan?
AMLAN: Selfie-like (sure!).
