The Calgary Flame*

A portrait of Calgary love (sport/romance) and the 'bright lights' of Western civilization distances.

A love-story set in Canada and featuring ice-hockey fanfare.

DISCLAIMER: I've no 'formal' ties to Calgary or ice-hockey (organization) and present this dramatization as a work of lifestyle 'dugout' fanfiction only.

Calgary (Canada) is a great place to live, especially if you're an ice-hockey fan of the 'flame' of this iconic city, and it's where/why Amlan Satan calls it home.

AMLAN SATAN: I love the flames of ice-hockey and boast sports-cards of note and am a team-striker and courting two women!

In this new age of Coronavirus tribulation(s), it's simply 'nice' to think of the everyday living/environmental amenity of sports-spirit(s) and the flames of ice-hockey. It's a fun game of swift teamwork and courage/daring and nice offense-defense ballet. Amlan Satan of Calgary likes to balance his love of sport with thoughts about social consciousness (and even courtship/knighthood).

EZZY: I've been courting with Satan for 1 year now, but he's also 'seeing' my friend from work; I surf Facebook (a lot).

Satan bought darling Algerian-Canadian telemarketing woman 'Ezzy' a darling gold Swatch-watch, a great 'memento' of 20th-Century consumerism imaginarium(s). Ezzy thinks this 'token' gift may not be enough, since he might be 'seeing' her coworker/friend Nathalie.

NATHALIE: I love cyber-fanzines and modern fashion-world/cinema journal(ism) casting fun stories about social-media/IQ.

HOllYWOOD REPORTER: The hot-flames of Calgary's ice-hockey team are rolling; we anticipate a Cup-IQ quite soon (now).

AMLAN SATAN (Diary): I got my son Damian (from my first marriage/divorce) a Fleury-rookie (Calgary) card; I hope he's happy!

Amlan's got a son-and-daughter from his first/failed marriage to Hollywood actress Sheryl Crows, and he's hoping that this newfound 'romance' with Ezzy/Nathalie will spice his seasons-spirit(s) with the ice-hockey team (Calgary). His daughter (Esha) thinks ice-hockey is a dazzle to attend the games in the ice-arena. However, Esha knows daddy has to choose...soon.

DIARY: I'm Catholic and spiritual; I got a red-flame faerie-figurine of mystic-value for my house, but is it for Ezzy/Nathalie?

EZZY: I wonder if Satan will toast the Calgary-'cup' with a visit/proposition worthy of his newfound 'faerie'-IQ.
NATHALIE: I wonder if Amlan will find the 'courage' to choose me; if he does; that faerie-IQ is...all Calgary (mine)!
