Oscar: The Ides of March

A Story by Abishai100

Will the 'journey' of an eccentric, a 'true' Oscar(s)-fan breed a new 'portrait' of American/Western djinn-detention?

A psyche-noir inspired by A Cure for Wellness. Final-piece (I think),

Amlan Satan is a wannabe-actor and plans to stand outside this year's Oscar-show in a rather dashing suit. However, this man of fantasy just might snap this year at the Academy Awards show.

AMLAN SATAN: The Oscars are in March this year, same as St. Patrick's Day, which holds miracle-symbolism for United States.

He did snap, folks. He couldn't get into the actual show and onto the honored stage of laurels, so he decided to become Michael Myers, Halloween 'advocate' of Samhain, the dark Gaelic annual festival of the witch/darkness.

MICHAEL MYERS: There's so many beautiful black people at the Academy Awards, and I wonder if they'll like me!

Michael decides to walk into the local Pho-Vietnamese restaurant and orders a very tasty soup and the waitress asks him, "Are you dressed like the Halloween psycho for the Oscars evening and since it's St. Patrick's Day month this March?" to which the newborn-psycho replied in an eerie whisper, "I just want your amazing Vietnamese soup!"

He was incarcerated in Arkham Asylum where there's a nice treatment for those who simply 'snap' and become antisocials who basically need a 'remedy' for their malaise, even in this new world of rich socialization and medicine.

DOCTOR: We've given 'Michael' plenty of artistic inspiration/stimuli to serve as his now life-therapy treatment-cure.

MICHAEL ('Amlan Satan'): I'll make a cute drawing of a 'vigilante' (Batman) and the 'heroine' who loves him (stick-figures!).

That's the tale of Satan/Michael, and whether or not he busts out of Arkham for Halloween this year won't change the fact that the Oscars and St. Patrick's Day were both celebrated this March (2022), just some time after the Coronavirus quarantine-tribulation, which begs the question, "Can Lithium solve the modern social 'malady' of darkening dreams?"
