The Citadel

Amlan Satan's a progressive idealist in NY/NJ who's erecting a special American 'Citadel' of democratic distancing.

A democracy-fanfiction nod to the iconic modern dystopian film The Purge (Ethan Hawke). Enjoy,

Welcome to New York, or rather, Brooklyn ('NY'). It's where the Seton Hall university scholar of blood-diamond capitalism, Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) commutes home very weekend following a rigorous work week at Seton Hall as a Pirate of Interpol-relations analysis relevant to modern New York securities.

AMLAN SATAN ('Storm-Shadow'): My work's reflective of a modern investment in capitalism ideology in North America!

Satan's been working as a Seton Hall Pirate capitalism-scholar and terrorism-financing analyst through Interpol-relations after completing his education at Dartmouth/CalTech as a sociology of capitalism student, with degrees affording him great understandings of Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, and Seton Hall is his intellectual base now.

SATAN: I've been evaluating the impact of comic book art on the American ideologies of terrorism-consciousness!

Satan's wife Camilla is an assistant professor at Princeton and also commutes home to Brooklyn to reunite with Amlan when she's not busy at Princeton writing her book on the nature of capitalism warfare.

SATAN: I used some of my Interpol-relations assets to buy Camilla a fancy diamond-string hand-piece!

Seton Hall offers its multicultural students healthy and nutritious dining in its cafeterias and is proud to host great campus life on the East Coast, and therefore it's symbolic of an American sociocultural investment in educational atmosphere and lifestyle.

Amlan and Camilla visit a local Catholic church for Sunday Mass when they're home in Brooklyn (NY) together.

Amidst all this 'Citadel' imagination of life-balance in NY/NJ for Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow'), a new tide of unrest arises in NJ/NY in the form of a rabbit-mask wearing woods-gang called the Strangers who now prey on passerby/pedestrians and incite street riots.

SATAN: 'The Strangers' threaten the vitality of our Citadel life in New York/Jersey, and I want to advocate traffic sanity.

Satan (Storm-Shadow) keeps a toy water-rifle in his Brooklyn residence which is inserted with a thin glass tube and regularly filled/refilled with corrosive acid. He keeps patrol from midnight to 2am every day, waiting to see if rabbit-mask gang members of the eerie Strangers pass by to threaten his academic satellite den in Brooklyn. If they come by, he might spray their evil feet with acid (wow)!

For his late-night home patrols, he eagerly anticipates patrolling cop-cars to drive-by so he can greet them in his nifty self-appointed 'Scarecrow' officer-costume, a nod to the romanticism behind Robin Hood.

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): We dealt with a street-riot in Brooklyn incited by the Strangers with caring newsletters!

SATAN: My job is to advocate the marketing of capitalism-symbolic items/diadems like Lego Hospital to inspire peace.

Storm-Shadow (Amlan Satan) also advocates the reading of Captain America anti-terrorism comics/novels to his Seton Hall Pirates students in New Jersey, to remind them that for every morsel of violence in modern times (e.g., The Strangers), there're antidotes or doses of real democratic propaganda...or poetry!

AMLAN: This was a great idea, darling --- to enjoy the Devils-Flyers ice-hockey game on Devil's Night.

CAMILLA: It's a safe excursion and hideaway activity during the Strangers' night-raids in Brooklyn, Satan.

SATAN: If literacy be the music of sanity, then let's play on with great prizes for capitalism-dance!

SETON HALL: We hope Dr. Satan makes a vintage cassette-recording of his capitalism-rhetorics for modern academic IQ.

Will the great life 'Citadel' of the modern democrat Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow') endure through these real civilization trials of perceptible deformity? What do you think?
