An offbeat tale of 'discovered' magic in cyber-vigilance in the post-9/11 era of socialized commercial design.

An antiterrorism vignette inspired loosely by World Trade Center. Thanks for reading,

An iconic actress-celeb in Cali was doing a survey of amateur artwork uploads/postings on the modern US-Net and discovered a strange individual who'd been blogging about comics-doodles/arts representing a Western fascination with social justice tied to new-era fears of terrorism. This actress decided to interview several of her peers to get an idea of what comprised modern 'street-IQ' regarding globalism commerce confidence.

The stranger, a self-made 'cyber-vigilante' named Amlan Satan ('Storm-Shadow') wished to cast special 'comics-avatars' like Hulk, Flash, Catwoman, and Firestar as special diplomats of globalism commerce securities confidences. Storm-Shadow wrote stories about these avatars working as daring road-blockers of pirates/terrorists.

STORM-SHADOW: In these cyber-blogs about social actions, I see myself or rather 'dream' I'm a Thomas Nast of street-reform.

Strangely enough, the actress-celeb who'd been tracking this 'Storm-Shadow' on US-Net succeeded in arranging a 'toy' meeting with the young man in Cali (Pizza-Kitchen) and was awestruck when he presented her his special 'articles' or 'toys' that re-presented a Western-IQ regarding commercial imaginations or capitalism confidences. She asked him if he himself had read much antisocial/guerrilla literature and he remarked that he preferred American movies about toys and treasure.

ACTRESS: I get that 'funny' feeling you see yourself as a Don Quixote!
STORM-SHADOW: That's right.
ACTRESS: Don't you see some contradictions/flaws in 'self-made' cyber-politics?
STORM-SHADOW: No, no --- this is a 'time' of great free-speech IQ (e.g., Home Shopping Network)!
ACTRESS: Capitalism/consumerism isn't really a 'system' for deduction, no?
STORM-SHADOW: No --- it is.
ACTRESS: How's that?
STORM-SHADOW: Commerce streets/matrices make us all 'faeries' of the money-train to peace!
ACTRESS: That's sounding more and more delusional/insane, good friend!
STORM-SHADOW: I concede I have 'delusions of grandeur' but wouldn't you find cinema-interest in treasures?
ACTRESS: Treasures?
STORM-SHADOW: Imagine you're at the architectural splendor the Salk (Cali) and you make a James Bond movie.
ACTRESS: And?
STORM-SHADOW: You might 'discover' some strange-fruit regarding treasure-design for anti-terrorism diaries.

The actress-celeb and Storm-Shadow decided to go to a drive-in movie theater in Cali together one summer night and marveled at the way storytelling and motion-pictures bring people together regarding the splendors of social imagination or customs/manners and civilization ideations! She agreed with him finally that there was indeed a 'strange-magic' to the idea of 'wrought' daydreams of sanity and traffic-security from the matrix of treasures/toys which we otherwise take for granted as 'regular' standard consumer-traffic in Western civilization!
