Have mercy on this poor girl who suck at writing...

I have always wondered how Crane would react to certain events that happened in America so I tried to write it out.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.


A peaceful day. Recently it had become a rare privilege for Ichabod Crane, although it was quite certain that the two hundred year some soldier ever had that privilege during the revolutionary war. He was alone, in the cabin that had once belonged to Miss Abby's parental figure, his friend had to make her rounds today so it left Crane alone. Whether or not it was a good idea, she would have to find out when she came back for a visit.

He decided to take walk into town, it was basically a mile walk but a simple stroll to him. He could never understand why people of this century were so much dependent on those motorized carriages when walking was simply easier and refreshing. It might even reduce the absurd obesity rating, he thought to himself, both he and Abby agreed to never talk about the American obesity rating again.

As Crane walked into the town of Sleepy Hollow, the atmosphere felt... Depressing. And yet, civilians leisurely walked about as if they did not notice anything amiss. The British man did notice that the American flag that flew high from the pole of the library where he enjoyed reading, was half-mast. Crane chose not to ask the reason the country's flag current position and walked back to the cabin.

Back home, he had come to think as the good sheriff's cabin as home, Crane picked a device called a remote control and from what Abby had showed him, pressed the red button. Abby blocked almost all the channels from the TV (ghost box as Ichabod had called it once) but left only CNN and the History channel unlocked so the man could observe what this country had come too since his apparent death.

Late that night Abby Mills came back to a pale Ichabod Crane, the TV was on the history channel.

The man had spent the last few hours watching documentaries of an event that happened in this country almost fifty years ago.


Please don't yell at me.
