Ouija-Xmas: Xeno-DreamWheel

A charmed family migrates to snowy Xmas-Buffalo and purchases an eerie alien-figurine/toy but uses a Ouija-mantra to play a breath-game that inevitably draws out a misadventure for destiny.

A Christmas-in-July dark 'faerie-tale' inspired by the awesome/timeless dark fantasy-adventure Gremlins. Hope you like,

In the snowy Christmas/Xmastime in Buffalo (New York, United States), a small nuclear family of Algerian-Americans arrived as a young migrant group and settled into the iconic snowy area and started embracing all the colors of the region, including football confetti and folk spirits.

AMLAN: This new life in Buffalo will be 'superior' to our old life in the Windy City, Ezzy.

EZZY (Wife): I think you're right, man...this airport (Niagara) is awesome!

DELILAH (Child/Daughter): Yum...pretzels.

This was an 'ideal' migrating plural American family, and Buffalo had embraced them in this new world 'aura' of social-media and folk street consumerism during Xmas, and the trio (Amlan/Ezzy/Delilah) would expect much delight and daylight in the town of the Bills and snowy sledding, and Amlan wanted to make some kind of Facebook-magic short-story out of the experience too.

However, this all-American 'faerie-tale' is not without darkness, folks. For this small family is about to get a strange 'omen-message' about the mystique and wonders of wrought misadventures. You see, Amlan had become intrigued by the notion of discovered 'treasure-magic' in the new town of Buffalo and sought some kind of 'wonder-gift' for Xmas for his family, something both Ezzy his wife and Delilah his baby-girl would really adore and consider a gem of a gift.

AMLAN: My goodness, I've found the most 'excellent' gift for you two darling for Xmas --- a Xeno-alien sci-fi action-gargoyle!

EZZY: Delilah loves her new Xeno-figurine; I got us a kids' Ouija incantation-game for us to 'charm' alien life-breath (ha!).

Ezzy had made a horrid blunder in judgment with the Ouija-game incantation game for Xmas in Buffalo. For when Amlan/Delilah used it to charm a mantra for the sci-fi 'creepy' Xeno-alien figurine to come to life, that's just what happened...only this 'toy' come alive was no 'friend' to humans. In fact, it mimicked the terrifying behaviors and 'hostile' intelligence seen in the Alien sci-fi horror-movies that inspired the marketing of the toy. The Xeno-gargoyle escaped from their new Buffalo home and crept into the city shopping-mall and began to wreak pure havoc.

BUFFALO NEWSWIRE: A bizarre-looking 'troll-like' miniature alien 'creature-being' scurries around mall and biting mall-cops!

AMLAN: Good lord, what've we done, Ezzy...maybe we need to borrow our neighbor's garage 'ice-gun' craft-mod 'toy' for this.

BUFFALO NEWSWIRE: The 'alien gargoyle' continues to scurry around and is lurking in the basement, chased by a janitor!

AMLAN: I'll try to use my neighbor's ice-gun to intrigue the 'creature-being' and draw it into a tunnel-area/basement hole.

EZZY: Jesus, we've managed a minor Buffalo miracle here, Amlan; you lured that 'thing' into the hole and froze it (complete).

AMLAN: No one's more relieved than our baby-girl, Ezzy (never-again).

Amidst all this Coronavirus Western 'drama' and tribulation, no one would have anticipated such strangeness in iconic Buffalo, and when this bizarre creature-come-alive was running amuck and required immediate freezing, Amlan turned out to be the 'unlikely' hero, prompting Ezzy to cheer up the town with the minor-miracle with a series of Xmastime cyber-artworks depicting 'normal' transcendence of the Coronavirus tribulation, reminding folks of the good 'diary' of Earth.

MAJOR ALLAN: Wow, you're a 'darling' family; you've achieved a trophy-miracle; reminds me of my days of American service.

BUFFALO NEWSWIRE: The cops were in the streets ensuring the gargoyle didn't escape from the mall; perimeters assurance!

AMLAN: I wonder if this sort of 'local' folklore will inspire some kind of 'inventive' Hollywood 'experiment' in terror/disaster!

EZZY: Well, at the least, there's return-to-form for snow-sledding for Delilah to cheer and pretzel-munch this Xmastime.

Well, Amlan and his nuclear family ended up settling into the snowy Buffalo town and became quite the 'celebrities' after the ice-gun heroics inside the mall. Meanwhile, that living Ouija-drawn 'gargoyle' was hauled off to a science-laboratory by the mysterious/wealthy Weyland company in Michigan. Amlan would go onto become a great/avid collector of Bills-football local memorabilia (ha!).

EZZY: I got us this football-duet cheerleading-doll set for Delilah to admire too...and forget the 'darkness' of the alien-IQ.

DELILAH: Ice-skating...Xmas-trees lights...Buffalo is my cool!

The moral of this tale is...don't mix apples with oranges and blend Ouija with alien-toys, especially during a snowy Christmastime of shopping-frenzy...there's simply too much darkness surrounding the universal 'mystery' of folk-detention.
