A Story by Abishai100

A retake on the classic horror-diamond The Shining (Stephen King). Thanks for reading (Happy summer),

The astounding JFK airport is the site of our unusual 'dark' faerie-tale of an imaginative scifi-horror writer named Amlan Satan who'd been developing concepts about real extra-terrestrials with mischievous intent wandering around various Western civilization airports in iconic cities like Frankfurt, Paris, San Francisco, and Dublin.

AMLAN SATAN: I was at JFK (Airport!) and greeted two interesting stewardesses who seemed somehow to be 'other-worldly.'

SHELBYE: This 'dude' Amlan Satan was quite the intriguing gentlemen-writer and had the 'audacity' to ask me if I'm an alien!

PATRICIA: I couldn't help smile at Satan when asked if I'm an alien...since I just might be...or some kind of 'phantom' for him!

Satan asked the two stewardesses of JFK (Airport!) if they'd escort him to the food-hall section of the iconic Western civilization city international airport of modern times. He told them, respectively, that he'd be 'pleased' if they allowed him, in-turn, to get for them specialty sandwiches and/or soup(s) with their nice coconut-water drinks on a day of travel-transit that was neither too busy nor too sparse. They both accepted his gentleman's proposition, and he watched them eat their little meals while he drank his milkshake and took notes for his novel about greeting aliens at airports, and he'd decide that he'd might 'alter' this theme to include the possible 'reality' of greeting phantoms or 'specters' rather than aliens inside JFK.

SHELBYE: I think you'd find the King-novel of horror-proportion(s), The Shining quite the 'treat' for your fantasy of alienation.

PATRICIA: Yeah, you know, The Shining has that discrete feel-look of an exposition/experience/experiment in fear(s) of IQ!

Satan (Amlan!) became so 'certain' that either/both Shelbye/Patricia were somehow, magically, real 'aliens' disguised as wandering stewardesses of perhaps even 'specter'-phantom(s) with a 'real 'agenda for civilization-institution(s) infiltration with a 'smiling' operative intent to create mystery...or vertigo. He wondered why they'd want to 'complicate' natural feelings of disorientation with their offbeat charm(s) and unusual senses of self-consciousness and cast the airport-experience of a living discomforting 'wonder' about tangible 'deformity' in the 'matrix' of everyday traffic-life. Perhaps they were messengers of evil in the Earth-realm of everyday sanity/sanitation. Perhaps they wanted to 'challenge' his 'human' sense(s) of vitality!

AMLAN SATAN: Good lord, there's a horrid accident-crime outside JFK (Airport!) concerning bloody-murder with drunkenness.

Satan tried to commit suicide in the airport (JFK) restroom and was then himself hauled off into a port-authority ambulance-vehicle where he'd eventually be treated for a nervous-breakdown, and he was asked (finally!) what prompted this strange 'deviance' in life's decision-making, especially at such a nice airport of modern time, he whispered in an eerie fashion, "I'm to tell you I was 'drawn' into darkness inside JFK by the encounter(s) with two 'sirens' of dark-angels, perhaps aliens or perhaps phantoms in the brain, who I'm discreetly sure now were my self-conceived messengers of darkness."
