A special New England apartment is inhabited by a special US citizen (Algerian immigrant) named Amlan Satan who's been brooding about his mail-order-bride collage photo sticker on his bedroom wall, which has become the subject of this unusual modern society faerie-tale of 'residential' proportion(s).

AMLAN SATAN: I have wonderful mail-order-bride photo-collage sticker on my wall; I need more inspiration (though).

Satan decides to travel to JFK (Airport!) and look for a 'real woman' who might leap out of the photo-collage sticker on his bedroom-wall. He wants to simply find a human companion for his otherwise lonely life as a Boston postman. He's a fan of baseball-cards, classical music, and horror-novels. He's also (secretly) a prince from Algeria but has opted to live a life of humility, to feel like a 'normal Joe' in Boston, but he's got a special diamond notation(s)-wristwatch in his apartment.

AMLAN SATAN: These mail-order-brides (mostly European!) are lovely, and I need to 'translate' the dream...into proposition.

When he gets to JFK (Airport!), he decides to take his vintage eBay-Polaroid (camera!) to take 'stock' of the thoroughfare inside the traffic-iconic building (institution) on that fine-day, and he's on the 'search' for a lovely 'faerie-woman' who'll be the girl who leaps out of the photo-collage sticker in his apartment.

EZZY: You're a charming 'prince' in this fair New England.
SATAN: I drove all the way to New York to find you.
EZZY: You're apartment (Boston!) is quite terrific, Mr. Satan!
SATAN: Oh, thanks; there's something 'special' about this photo-collage I want to show.
EZZY: What's so special about it?
SATAN: Well, there's a reason I brought you here, darling lady of New York?
EZZY: I'm actually from Algeria!
SATAN: Wait...me too.
EZZY: Really (nice).
SATAN: Well, so I think you've leapt out of the photo-collage sticker I'm showing.
EZZY: So, I'm your 'faerie' mail-order-bride 'dream-come-real' then in Boston.
SATAN: What do you think?
EZZY: What's the proposition here, Satan.
SATAN: Diamond(s)-notation wristwatch.
EZZY: I have to post this on Facebook!

AMLAN SATAN: I took my 'faerie' to a furniture-store in Boston and she'd been impressed by the lifestyle-amenity collection(s).

EZZY: Me thinks this is the 'finest' Thai-spaghetti dish I've ever 'encountered' in the West, Satan.

Ezzy was hypnotized by the immaculate diamond(s)-notation wristwatch Prince Amlan showed/presented to his 'faerie' woman leapt out of his bedroom photo-collage sticker in his bedroom.

DIARY: We were 'married' for one year but I lost her (again!); she returned to Algeria; I got an artwork in her 'memory' (IQ).

The point of this 'encounter' fable of romance for the Prince Amlan is you never know what you'll get in a modern airport --- maybe a 'faerie' princess who'll invoke your 'natural' daydreams and IQ regarding the surprise(s) of everyday...distance(s)!
