Se7en

A 'world psycho' leaves his normal overground life in preference for a dark mission and is chased by two Euro dash detectives.

A crime-noir vignette inspired by the very unusual modern gothic murder-storySe7en (David Fincher), which I hope you like!

A young man in Europe is a traveler, and he likes to make paintings of children with red balloons and in particular favors this one of a small child with a red balloon wearing a fur winter coat.

The young man is a pensive and brooding Ivy League ex-professor named Amlan Satan who'd worked for some time as a guerrilla-intelligence operator with Interpol-relations in economically-complicated Northern Ireland (UK), destabilizing pirate blood-diamond traffic creating 'sectarian angst' between young Irish-Catholic and British-Protestant men from 'opposite sides' of the proverbial land-tracks. Satan (Amlan) became weary of this life of piracy-infiltration and took his princely-inherited Algerian fortunes and decided to become a traveling artist and painter.

AMLAN: My newfound mission is not one of simple philosophy/arts but of psychosis, wielding surgical tools, murder-weapons.

You see folks, Satan (Amlan) is a prototypical modern 'matrix' urbanization-transit landscape 'psyche-deformed' psycho. He's not an American psycho but a new era 'world psycho' of determined 'metaphysical' intent, and he's traveling around Europe now painting his paintings and meditating on nature on Earth all the while taking KLM flights to various Euro-cities and taking photos for his online web-mosaics about the 'quality' of life on our planet. However, something inside this modern man has 'snapped' and he's becoming wilder, in terms of bloody strangeness.

Amlan purchases a very nice apartment in Amsterdam and charts his special Euro-itinerary, plotting a course of wanderer-philosopher travel stretching from Brussels to Vienna to Paris to Frankfurt to Transylvania to Copenhagen. His Amsterdam apartment is really nice, and Amlan likes downloading David Fincher movies on Netflix on his flat-screen.

The story gets stranger. As Amlan Satan, our world psycho, hops on KLM flights around Europe for this mission-itinerary, he engages in passionate love-affairs with numerous gorgeous Dutch stewardesses (Elka, Adriana, Gesina, Heleen, Catharina). He tells each of his 'loves' in-the-air that he'll be transformed into a modern celebrity like Jack the Ripper, and his gals of the skies consider him simply as some kind of fiction-writer with some 'sentimental' daydream about wrought deception.

SATAN (Amlan): No one shall uncover my newfound true mission intention --- to become a real murderer, in mask-and-shade.

KLM (Royal Dutch Airlines) has become Amlan Satan's special 'calling-card' and he relishes in the notion that he's able to use such a commercially-symbolic 'vehicle' for modern globe-transit to ponder the quality and nature of convenience and travel facilitating his philosophical musings on the active graphic face of bloody murder.

SATAN (Amlan): The city I've chosen as my act of valor is Paris (France), and I'll seek out crimes worthy of Christian folklore.

Satan targets a special newcomer to the world of Paris fashion, a young beauty named Brigitte who's been involved in a new French saree line of Irish-Indian (West-East) style blendings. Some magazine editors consider Brigitte the new Cindy Crawford, and she's honestly humbled by all this glorious newfound media-light. She's really stunning, but she's now the fixed Paris-target of the 'world psycho' with lancets, Amlan Satan.

Two detectives are on the trail of Amlan Satan who's robbed a few banks during his Euro-trip, using a maudlin costume/mask to steal diamonds and claim the diagonal-thefts are some symbolic gesture of inter-city antipiracy omen about the nature of swapping treasures for dolls. The detectives, both English, one black and one white, both consider this strange mod-criminal as some 'messenger' of Christian sins/vices and wonder if he's planning something symbolically grander and are now tracking him around Europe, thinking (wisely) he's planning something more dangerous than simply diamond 

The two detectives, Mills and Somerset, have tracked Amlan Satan to the city-of-romance, Paris (France). They've deduced that this mod-criminal's real intent is to create some new message about Christian sin/vice connected very loosely and arbitrarily to piracy, and they consider Paris a target symbolic/reflective of Satan's message of 'modern European' bloodlust. They wonder if he just might target a prominent fashion-model in this Euro-city of lights and love.

They guessed wisely. Amlan Satan put on a Halloween costume-and-mask and used one of his bloody lancets to slit the throat of the newcomer Paris fashion-model Brigitte and let her slowly bleed to death while standing over her as she's tied down to a chair in her temporary hotel suite in the French city. Satan watches her bleed to death and says nothing, but after she finally dies (albeit rather painlessly), he leaves a note for Detectives Mills/Somerset to find which reads, "This is the new face of European darkness."

Brigitte is fortunately canonized and romantically eulogized in a special celebration in the streets of Paris (France) which includes the showcasing of a new fashion-boutique 'mannequin' wax-doll modeled rather 'tightly' after her. Detective Mills/Somerset are horrified, realizing Satan (Amlan) has now finally 'triumphed' in his dark mission to bring forth a deformed message to modern Europe about that mysterious and uneasy bridge between world-piracy, traffic, and bloody murder.

SATAN: How'd you catch me, detectives?
MILLS/SOMERSET: Are you asking/provoking us, Amlan?
SATAN: Call me Satan, please sirs.
MILLS/SOMERSET: What's your real intention here, Satan.
SATAN: Why, I wanted to create a world doll for your interpretation!
MILLS/SOMERSET: You bloody murdered that innocent French model (Brigitte).
SATAN: She deserved it...and enjoyed it rather me thinks.
MILLS/SOMSERSET: We doubt you actually believe that!
SATAN: Well, I wanted to use her for my Paris mission, and you caught me!
MILLS/SOMERSET: We found you eating at a bistro near the crime-scene soon after the murder.
SATAN: I didn't think detectives would have the gusto to walk around right after the crime in the area!
MILLS/SOMERSET: Well, you may consider us more 'microscopic' than average modern detectives.
SATAN: I think the young Detective Mills is more upset about Brigitte's quiet death than veteran Somerset.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Why's that, and why'd you refer to yourself as a distinct 'world psycho' in Paris (France)?
SATAN: Why, I'm intrigued by the notion of varied detector-responses to my brand of crime design.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Weren't you simply seeking to create a transit-diorama for European piracy?
SATAN: Pirates are not different too much from vengeful killers.
MILLS/SOMERSET: That's not true!
SATAN: It was true for the prototype woman Brigitte.
MILLS/SOMERSET: What's made her a prototype for your awkward diary, Amlan.
SATAN: Call me Satan!
MILLS/SOMERSET: Answer your own riddle, Satan.
SATAN: I wanted a figurine for my causal message about wrought confusion.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Confusion...about what?
SATAN: Christianity, of course.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Was Brigitte the 'woman of Babylon' for your private crime-diary, Satan?
SATAN: No, no; she was simply the 'angel' of my message about derived darkness.
MILLS/SOMERSET: What made Brigitte your mannequin, Satan?
SATAN: Well, she was the ideal...diamond.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Why's that?
SATAN: She was celebrated not for her personality but for her...aura only.
MILLS/SOMERSET: Is that bad for you, Satan?
SATAN: The entire modern world is darkened by this tinge of vanity's diary.
MILLS/SOMERSET: You disfigured the fashion-world with this dark 'lancet' of bloody murder!

SATAN: The world shall remember this 'deed' as a cause for certain dowry.

MILLS/SOMERSET: You're worse than the bloody Irish Republican Army!

SATAN: I'm more 'distanced' too!

MILLS/SOMERSET: We hope you're right about that...you need to be put away...for good.

SATAN: You are both older now...and I'm at the end of this tale of a city.
