Logan (Airport!): Drywall(s)

Logan (Airport!): Drywall(s)

A Story by Abishai100
"

Shimmering 'diorama' about a civilization institution trafficked by intersecting-lives caught in the 'matrix-woe' of terrorism-challenge.

"
An 'infrastructure' fable about civilization-IQ and daydreams in times of 'trouble(s)' and inspired (loosely!) by Concorde Airport '79 (Alain Delon). Enjoy,

At Logn (Airport!) in New England, a strange/funny cross-section of trafficking travelers intersect with their blended stories amidst some strange in-airport 'gossip' surrounding potential terrorism!



MARK: I'm an English-prof at U-Mass and going to Logn for an Aer Lingus flight to Dublin for a summer-vacation!



DESDEMONA: I'm a movie-actress stunt-double and going to Logan to pick up a friend from Los Angeles!



THERESA: I'm a librarian at Boston Public (library!) and picking up my son (Damian) from Logn who's flying-in from Vietnam.



Inside Logan, securities are rather normal. When the gossip surrounding a potential bomb-scare draws in Mark/Desdemona/Theresa who'd otherwise been preparing for their flight, friend-greeting/pickup, and safety, suddenly/now start conversing with each other and remark, "Logan's a landmark and now it seems like our 'itinerary' is crap."



AMLAN SATAN: I'm an Interpol-office(s) relations 'James Bond' going through Logan to Belfast and waiting for a celeb-security.



Satan is at the 'Legal-Seafood' eatery at Logan enjoying a simmering and thick-and-creamy bowl of fresh/quality clam-chowder (New England 'white') when he notices a strange-looking man sit down with a bag full of toys.



DESDEMONA: Mind if I sit down with ya and enjoy some chowder?
SATAN: Sure; I've been 'spying' on this 'stranger' at the next-table and wondering if he's behind the bomb-threat!



Logan's become a globalism-symbol/base of operations for secured traffic/activity and for tourist-securities, and this bomb-threat in the post-9/11 era reminds everyone inside New England of the 'threat' to American ideology/drama created by 'pure' anticapitalism rhetoric(s).



JASMINE: I've been staying at the Logan-Hotel by the airport and took a hot-shower before the trip and was shocked!



That 'stranger' Amlan Satan noted inside the seafood-eatery took out a tiny mannequin-faerie doll/figurine and started to open up its back.



AIRPORT SECURITY: Amlan Satan grabbed the doll from the 'stranger' and discovered a concealed homemade plastic-bomb.



AMLAN SATAN: When the celeb who showed up at Logan for the security-transport (my duty-freedom!), I remembered a 'social-media' post about 'threats' to capitalism/consumerism/entertainment felt by those 'frustrated' by Western/American media-culture and wondered if the blogger was a psycho-terrorist.



DESDEMONA: I'll never forget it; it felt like I was reliving 9/11 which I 'witnessed' on American-TV (NY); Logan was hot today!



JASMINE: I'd have died that day...in Logan...after my hot-shower; instead I met my future hubby!
