Catch Me

A tale of a James Bond 'character' who seems to illuminate the strange 'magic' of elusive civilization dowries.

An homage to thievery-storytelling, inspired very loosely by the iconic American film Catch Me If You Can (Steven Spielberg).

A college professor of divinity decided to give up his life of religious work and begin blood-diamond infiltration work with Interpol-relations, operating as a thief subverting baron safe-box securities threatening the European gem market.

This thief is Amlan Satan (code-name: Storm-Shadow) who grew up with a special love of comic book art and pirate stories and pirate costumes. He decided to dabble in mathematics and then in abstract art before becoming a divinity scholar before finally turning to a dastardly 'James Bond' life of diamond-heists in Europe. You have to try to catch him!

His fan cyber-comics work reflects avatar-presentations of colorful consumerism-symbolic 'avatars' like Evil Elf which represent capitalism flowery during the holiday-season, an ironic reflection of his diamond-heist work.

AMLAN SATAN: I have a special comic book collection celebrating my love of James Bond infiltration work as a master-thief!

He one stole a $20M Pink Panther diamond from a ruthless Euro-baron who later told the press in humility, "If we ever catch this James Bond Pink Panther Storm-Shadow, he'll be canonized I think poorly at my expense."

Storm-Shadow performed two heists of Goldfinger's blood-diamonds from Boston banks and then one in Brussels, and the told the cyber-media that his task involved water-guns, toy-gems, media-gossip, and baron-trickery with a thespian-costume made to look like a city-dancer!

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption today threatens the world-diamond exchange and makes terrorism woes!

AMERICAN JOURNAL: Me thinks that Storm-Shadow is a master-of-disguise as he blends theatrics-with-dance.

He had to outwit an escorting guardsman into a bank safe-box by telling him he'd like to video-record him with his iPhone while the guard danced in front of the security-camera while Storm-Shadow switched blood-diamonds form a safe-box (behind his back with one arm!) with toy-gems.

OFFICER STARLING: This guy's a modern-day dragon, and if he's Interpol-relations smart, we'll track him with due diligence!

Of course, there's a romantic/sentimental side to this real-life James Bond, as he sends home money to an adopted South American baby girl who's thinking of this guardian-sponsor from the United States as his special pen-pal father-figure, a testament to the double-sided nature of Amlan.

AMLAN SATAN: I find odd romance in video-game activity while courting the idea I'll find a special 'dark angel' for my tales!

While at a robotics-department at an American sci-tech university/school, Satan (Amlan!) invented a robotic vehicle which would pick off parts/gears from 'enemy' robot-vehicles like a lancet-plucking 'thief' of hearts. He used this short-term 'celebrity' of robotics-conference achievement to mask his double-life from academics as a diamond-thief in Vancouver.

AMLAN SATAN: I had to evade Officer Starling using a Euro-metro during a blood-diamond heist at a bank with dotted security.

Life for a real James Bond is not that glamorous, since it requires adequate skill/acumen, and it demands an attention to the details that capitulate coordinations of civilization-grid markings, but it makes for excellent travel journal(ism), which is another way of saying, "Bond is all about the plane-dollars."

No one knows who he is, and no one may ever catch this Storm-Shadow, but he always leaves cryptic notes which read, "Catch Me!" which are sure signs that his real Western intention is to spotlight/showcase the ingenuity and marvel required to cast modern intelligence-work as a molded form of...duty!
