The Diapperance

The disappearance The Gulf of Mexico suddenly ran into the Atlantic left oil rigs high and dry. Naturally, the USA claimed the land which was disputed by Mexico and Cuba and Belize. What was left of the gulf had rivers and lakes and as the land greened it turned out to be fertile and the Amish people encouraged to farm the land which they did with earnest enthusiasm. Village sprang up, roads were built, and the famous veterinarian Jan Pol opened up his practice as well. As years went by, people forgot that they were farming on what has been the bottom of a sea. The sea had not forgotten. Slowly seeping in and those who had built luxury houses were the first to leave, but the fishery thrived and the shrimp business had a revival. There was a mass exodus, and the Amish people went back farming the land they knew. When the water had claimed, all of the gulf and people forgetting. There was only Wikipedia left to give a brief outline of the past.
