New England Amtrak: A 4th-Down

A strange diorama about the 'quality' of traffic-tales (New England) for post-9/11 era United States (Eastern) distance(s).

An Independence Day traffic-diorama of patriotic/superstitious optimism inspired loosely by The Terminal (Tom Hanks). Enjoy (and Happy 4th!),

I'd been collecting faerie-artworks for some time now, and I'd been a fan of various fantasy-adventure novels, comics, cartoons, and movies. I identified with faerie-motion(s) and storyboards and decided to take some toy gems to the Amtrak station (New England) and deposit a personal fantasy security activity on the 4th of July ('Independence-Day').

My name's Amlan Satan and I'm a huge Facebook/FaceTime fan and hence a modern civilization 'student' of traffic-IQ. I consider myself a 'nerdist' of capitalism ergonomics, and I studied cognitive science and economics at MIT (New England).

I once thought I 'witnessed' a ghost/specter at MIT, and I realized I wanted to take a photo of the specter and kept a log of it alongside my faerie-artworks. I decided this 'ghost' photo was some record for personal-IQ regarding magic/metaphysics in everyday traffic-symbolic/reflective institutional places/buildings like the Amtrak-station (New England).

SCHOOLTEACHER: Satan you deserve this awesome maroon-bowtie, and you'll become a great writer someday (I know!).

The Boston train-station is quite a modern marvel, and I marched to the security-box area with my toy-gems and made a cool safety-deposit which I ordered one of the guardsmen to photo with my handy iPhone that day!

SCHOOLTEACHER: When you get older, you'll become a nice photogenicity analyst of the 'everyday' street-IQ magic in Boston!

So, I get to the Amtrak (station) and take an iPhone photo and proceed to the security-box and notice a sunglasses-wearing woman had been following me to the station/box (that day!).

STATION-GUARDSMAN: So, you want me to just take a photo of you depositing your 'treasure(s)' while you do so (today!)?

Why'd I go to this trouble to have this Boston (New England) guardsman deliver a social media message about a random traveler making a gem (toy!) deposit inside the box for a street chatter about personal indulgence(s)? Perhaps I've become something of a 'story' inserter, inside the civilization milieu. I know this will generate station gossip about security-box 'fun' someday.

DIARY: The day I made the deposit-action, I looked like a 'character' out of one of my Cossack-comics; the guardsman smiled!

It turned out that 'mystery-woman' following me to/around the station (New England) was working for a blood-diamond baron and wanted to track a 'random' traveler to make some traffic-behavior notes about general pedestrians to advise her evil boyfriend about investment motion securities in institutions, and I started thinking about modern news-tales about 'dark' men in bow-ties for media journalism.

I ended up marrying this woman who left her blood-diamond 'beau' and attended the St. Patrick's Day (New England) parade with her and took photos of it with my iPhone and remembered all the magic we find in everyday life today. This was a nice premonition for 4th (Independence-Day) glitter in the post-9/11 era of traffic paranoia linked to dangerous terrorism.

WIFE: I got you this Alien media toy laser (Weyland) gun, so our son will have some nice view(s) on fantasy-adventure for us.

The moral of this unusual/normal everyday-traffic 'tale' is that magic can be found all around us, even in this time of modest tribulation(s) (e.g., Coronavirus, 9/11, Russo-Ukraine, etc.) which might remind anyone/everyone of the 'gem' value of basic-instinct designs.
