Charles St. Crossing

Two Harvard rascals plan a 'sacred' game against Cerulean (crime-org) for a Charles Street crossing...drawing.

An homage to neo-classical/modern crime-storytelling, inspired very loosely by the iconic (Coen bros.) film Miller's Crossing. Enjoy!

Two best friends in Boston (New England) are planning to outwit the Irish mafia which holds Sierra Leone blood-diamonds in a mafia mansion. The pals discuss the plan during lunch-break from work in Boston Park.

AMLAN: We simply present ourselves as toy salesmen, wielding bags of toy diamonds and swap them with the pirate-gems.

MARCUS: We'd have to perform the feat as if we're invested in the 'media' of punk-rock youth entertainment.

Amlan and Marcus are Harvard graduates with a keen eye for diamonds and plan to upstage a potent Boston crime-organization called Cerulean which holds those dastardly blood-diamonds in a mafia-mansion. Amlan/Marcus seek to engage the underworld for diamond-market cleanups in Boston for a special belief in New England (American) dollars.

AMLAN: We'll showcase our toy diamonds and present water-guns filled with acid as new-age street warfare weapons.

MARCUS: If the mafia uses their men to 'test' these acid-guns, we can pinpoint their perimeter-activity in New England.

The two Harvard pals have right to worry about the weight of this knightly feat and so have studied hard to take the right graphics and notes about the pyramids and decision-making 'tree' of this Cerulean crime-org in New England. Perhaps they 'have what it takes' to become like Sacco and Vanzetti!

BOSTON MAFIA: We have some of our patrons/elders enjoy sits in the Boston park, scouring for 'new-gen' talent.

Amlan/Marcus infiltrate the clique of Cerulean by making their design-work prominent/known through a Boston fashion-mod fanzine which showcases creative contributions to runway programs representing the bigger universe of Western fabrics.

AMLAN: As you can clearly see, our acrylic crystal toys (gems) are unsurpassed for capitalism theater.

MARCUS: We offer only the 'finest' in entertainment-diamonds.

While inside the Boston crime-org (Cerulean) mansion with the blood-diamonds, the two Harvard chums perform their costumed theatrical heist-deed and make-off with the blood-diamonds to an Interpol-relations transfer station and also present photographs of the mafia-mansion for newspaper editorials.

However, one month later, Cerulean has gargoyles stakeout the sacred 'Charles St. crossing' which is where Amlan/Marcus live/work from home (UK-consulting!). Amlan/Marcus have no choice one day but to sneak out the stairwell and shoot the parked Cerulean cars (with the gargoyles prowling around on foot searching for the two thieves!) with their handy 'acid-guns' which incidentally are a Charles St. dowry.

AMLAN: We invited a Cerulean man to challenge us in a Harvard-Sq. chess tourney but he declined!
MARCUS: All's fair in dye and chess...in Boston!

An American tale is what was presented, with comic book lore proportionality, and it's meant to provoke a valued modern Western question --- "Do Americans cater to 'deconstructive' dilemmas?"
