7th November 1492. A wheat field on the outskirts of the village of Ensisheim, Alsace, France.
11.55AM
Two farmers are chatting.
Farmer 1 : Another bad harvest Pierre?
Farmer 2: The worst yet Jacques. I'm thinking off getting out of the farming game.
Farmer 1: The weather ! Sacre Bleu! So wet I thought we were in England.
Farmer 2: We may as well have been. Their bloody army trampling through my fields.
Farmer 1: Bastards.
Farmer 2 : And what about the snail infestation?
Farmer 1: I couldn't eat the things quick enough.
Farmer 2: Then the wildfires in the summer.
Farmer 1: But BBQed snail tastes good.
Farmer 2: Maybe. But those locus that came after simply didn't.
Farmer 1: True. And the river ran red of course.
Farmer 2: That was just Jean getting rid of his old vino.
Farmer 1: It's all been very biblical isn't it.
Farmer 2: All brimstone, thunder and lightening.
Farmer 1: Still! Look on the bright side. You still have some crop left.
Shot of a small square of a massive field still growing with wheat.
Farmer 2: (With a voice full of pride.) Yeap. Although seems a shame to touch it after all that has happened.
Farmer 1 : I'm hungry. Time for a two hour lunch I think. Come on, there is nothing else left that can possibly happen to it is there?
The farmers turn and walk off.
The sky turns red, there is a loud rumble and fire fills the sky and a meteor crashes into the field.
