Cruise/Satan: Kremlin Dr.

Two key 'actors' in the modern politico-cultural 'landscape' are interwoven by differing threads in post-war Russia...and by a common tie of decency.

A civilization 'labyrinth' social-science yarn inspired loosely by Red Corner (Richard Gere). Enjoy,

The snowy Kremlin winter had seen great traffic in the time of unusual politico-cultural intrigue, as the Ukraine War subsided and Russian underworld figures were now more concerned with post-war blood-diamond piracy-traffic in Moscow. This brought in two key figures in modern media/society, but one's a diplomat named Cruise connected to literature while the other is a freelance terrorist named Satan. Kremlin is about to become a storyboard.

CRUISE: As American emissary to Moscow in this delicate post-war capitalism development talk-period, I'm the 'IQ'-man now.

SATAN: This is the modern Euro-landscape work of infiltrations and subversion of governance assumptions for mod-dragons!

Ironically, as Cruise (the media-diplomat) and Satan (the terrorist) wandered around Moscow, each with his own intention to construct/erect the forms of post-war capitalism monitors for differing politico-cultural agendas, they both stumbled upon a Transformers robot/art/toy/memento booth in a marketplace/bazaar which sold portraits/models of the war-vehicle traffic defender warrior-robot Hound...and they both became fascinated by it!

More ironically, Cruise/Satan both met a gorgeous Russian ballet-dancer in Moscow while 'studying' Kremlin gridding named Ana who'd become a national darling for her unusual/uncanny work with Tchaikovsky, and both men, on differing ends of the politico-cultural 'spectrum' of Euro-grids, fell in love.

ANA: Whom shall I choose --- a 'prototype' dashing diplomacy-American; or a mysterious/evasive Algerian 'pirate' of news?

SATAN: I love Ana; but this post-war Kremlin/Moscow work with destruction of rogue military gem-smugglers takes my winds.

CRUISE: I'm hosting this carrom-cyber games event for diplomat-kids at the Kremlin; I've invited Ana; she has to choose me.

REPORTER: Why'd you choose this strange 'photojournalist' (Satan) as 'beau' and not the American dashing diplomat (Cruise)?
ANA: I dunno; I fell in love with both men (really); I think Satan struck a cord in me about the 'realism' behind frailty.

Satan would go on to perform more blood-diamond smuggler subversions to destabilize piracy-nets threatening overground commercial bridge-talks between governments and underground liberty-groups like the post-war Crimean DARTMOUTH group, but he resolved to finally lay down his explosive work and marry Ana. Cruise meanwhile returned to the United States where he'd consider running for the Senate and becoming a Washington 'mainstay' in this new age of complex developed politico-cultural dragons.

Reviews

an interesting idea and take on post war times
why the naming of terrorist satan?
religious connotation? or extreme polar opposites of main characters
one marries the other joins the political arena
i always approve of visual compliments to written word
however ... as much attention drawing quality the pistol has it is an improbable object
the firing pin is the active end of guns and must be aligned to the chamber holding the bullet
perhaps it is abstract representation?
i do like the imagery and have reread this offerings more than twice finding different levels with each read
