A fantastic tale of campus-area lifestyle vigilance yielding a bizarre metaphysical 'sighting' surrounds this portrait of 'capitalism' drawing.

A fantasy-fable about modern 'optimism' inspired loosely by Willow (George Lucas) and Capitalism: A Love Story (Michael Moore). Enjoy,

Maryland is the state of a great medicine-school called Johns-Hopkins where a bright young media-figure is about to make a seminar appearance for talks to students about the nature of socialized healthcare depictions in modern cinema/culture and draw out dialogue surrounding the 'mysticism' of academic approaches to lifestyle treatments.

MEDIA-STAR: In our society of magazine-IQ, we've got to think like youth is connected to 'accessed' chats about life in TV.

One of the students of the seminar is also an assistant guest teacher from Duke/Dartmouth who believes this approach to natural views on health-management/presentations reflects a modern 'pirate-like' imagination about harnessing sanity out of the 'chaos' of magazine-culture dollars. To this pirate of academia, Amlan Satan, lifestyle is a 'game' of shadows!

AMLAN SATAN ('Pirate'): We're taking some kids on a field-trip to the forest-waters by the Maryland school campus area.

All the students/youth on the field trip to the Johns-Hopkins area forest will be wielding special miniature 'knight-swords' (presented by the theater department at the medicine-school) which they'll use alongside their toy water-guns filled with acid (HCL) to mark trees with acid-rings and sword-lines of time-demarcations for future 'time-capsule' anecdotes about human 'remains' of the day in the forests of the planet complicated by 'social' behavior chaos. It's a 'hands-on' approach to shock-value eco-pollution introspection in this lifestyle-oriented modern era of media, consumerism, and cinema/entertainment.

AMLAN SATAN ('Pirate'): How'd we anticipate that campnight-1 would include a horrifying sighting of the Jersey Devil?

The next month, in the seminar at the medicine-school, the horrified students recounted their otherwise 'orderly' camping-trip which included that inconceivable sighting of the Jersey Devil, the cryptic half-man beast from the Garden State said in mythology to be born of a human woman but dragon/beast like in shape/appearance. They thought they hallucinated the entire ordeal and in the seminar recounted why they'd have 'sighted' such a 'monstrosity' while performing a 'routine' and 'intriguing' IQ-study about campus-area forest journals/journalism about human traffic 'markings' in nature. At the post-trauma seminar classes, Amlan Satan, the 'pirate' of the group, suggested, as the students wore their Coronavirus protection-masks, that the sighting during the academic 'adventure' was a 'metaphysical sign' of the 'deformity' of capitalism and the spiritual backlash/hallucinations it induced in those 'craving' for something more 'magical' than consumerism itself (e.g., Burger King!).

AMLAN SATAN ('Pirate'): I'm returning to the forest-area with some 'GI Joe' ally (Beach-Head) to hunt for the Jersey Devil.

The underground 'gossip' this Johns-Hopkins lifestyle-medicine theatrics seminar generated seemed to draw the 'ire' of some nasty anti-Western terrorists (Cobra!) from the Far Middle East who decided they might 'camp' in that very-same forest and 'catch' the Jersey Devil before the Americans.

AMLAN SATAN ('Pirate'): We're using that same trick of acid-gun (water-gun!) markings of forest-trees to lure the Jersey Devil.

COBRA: Those rascal Americans may've taken some intriguing image-photos of the Jersey Devil with their acid-gun 'gimmick.'

AMLAN SATAN: This is an intellectual war over the hearts-minds of the nature of socialized distance(s) in capitalism-theory!

COBRA: We detest this 'valor' of Burger King defense in the name of Zionist biased media about 'cyber-consumerism' in the US.

AMLAN SATAN: We're distributing Mileena (Mortal Kombat) trading-cards to first-year med-students for lifestyle-IQ now.

COBRA: That 'pirate' (Satan) tackled one of our agents near the Johns Hopkins forest with his miniature swords, that rascal!
AMLAN SATAN: I managed to disorient/disarm this campus-invader with swift-strikes around his legs and weaponized arms.

COBRA: We'll continue to 'inspect' this 'American trend' of consumerism fancy with this new 'Mileena-cards' campaign now!

AMLAN SATAN: Mileena heroics/dramatics will save the day...at Johns-Hopkins and the surrounding idyllic forests/waters.

Was this a real victory for the rhetoric(s) behind Western/American 'academic' consumerism? Will the 'pirate' of Johns-Hopkins, Amlan Satan, emerge as a modern-day 'warrior' of the defense of street-intelligence dribble?
