Philadelphia

A Story by Abishai100

A legal case involving real magic in Philadelphia turns into a complex misadventure involving Martians...and dollmakers!

A very imaginative if strange fable inspired very loosely by Miracle on 34th Street.

The City of Brotherly Love (Philadelphia) is where a special legal case involving the media took place, and it concerned the exposure in media of a group of faerie-humanoids who'd been part of a traveling circus show about bank robbers and acrobats, and they'd been 'discovered' as faeries in human-form (disguised!) and were taken to a courthouse for a exposure case involving their right to sovereignty and non-media interview immunities while the city claimed they'd earnestly sought a 'method' to provide the curious folks a 'way' to celebrate their magical existence.

FAERIES: We're just visitors on Earth and no intention to claim interview-interest is our right; we only wanted the circus-show.

However, the legal resources put into this 'circus-law' required a special investment in the ideations that these 'faeries' were indeed given the 'chance' to showcase and 'celebrate' their magical existence and offered a legal 'argumentation' for the circulation of their identity/personality. The faeries however insisted that such curiosity may best be suited for some kind of Facebook-fun (exercise) involving the basic joys of everyday-people photography and the wisdom of resisting this 'natural-urge' to indulge in celebrity-oriented fantasy!

LAWYER: What we have in our midst is an 'excellence' in conditions regarding media for greatness in Philadelphia (movies!).

This case had generated quite a bit of stir regarding the marketing of fashion-gears and companies seeking to 'hype' this miracle-event involving the discovery of 'great' beings right in the City of Brotherly Love, certainly worth some form of magazine-diary.

However, this story went sour and dark when a spaceship of Martians landed simultaneously and offered a less-than-legal 'method' for discovery of nonhuman intelligence. These aliens were insect-dragon 'beings' resembling something out of the Hell of Dante's Inferno and worth casting in some modernism sci-fi horror/misadventure film like District 9.

FAERIES: You're here to make trouble and incite fears only, hellraisers from Hell!
ALIENS: Well...doesn't it seem 'ironic' or 'paradoxical' you just evaded media-lights for private strength?
FAERIES: Privacy is not the same as agenda for interference!
ALIENS: Sure, sure, but we're here on a 'mission' for terror/colonization, and you've no 'stake' in this city!
FAERIES: The City of Brotherly Love is a place for the humble consciousness regarding media-coverage of sanity/sanitation!
ALIENS: Sure, sure, but how'd you explain all this hellfire-maelstrom regarding mankind's own vanities/frailty?
FAERIES: Frailty is a reality of life in the big-city of Earth, but invasion is not compatible with imagination-rights.
ALIENS: Would you like to wager such a confidence with a chess-challenge (for media-coverage)?
FAERIES: We 'doubt' such a 'game-challenge' comes with any real 'promise' of a sovereignty compact, aliens from Hell!
ALIENS: No, no...draw a stalemate-conditions chess 'game' with us...and we'll resign ourselves to the ocean-abyss as exiles.
FAERIES: Promise?
ALIENS: You bet...what may we ask would be such a 'method' for game-exercise (with chess-color)?
FAERIES: Don't you think that our exchange regarding nonhuman identity casts a certain 'light' regarding 'human' distance?
ALIENS: What do you mean?
FAERIES: Our difference from humans indicates a ready-made distance suggesting a 'well-designed' sovereignty dominion.
ALIENS: Hmm...we suppose Earth 'variations' do offer a 'dosage' of special space-affirming privacy duty-free dance.

FAERIES: In that case, it's settled-well then...you could offer visages of your members in a special science-DNA museum!

ALIENS: Alright.

That's just what happened, folks. The aliens consented to a deep-ocean abyss self-exile isolationist destiny on Earth after debating with the faerie-humanoids in the City of Brotherly Love, on live-TV no less, and catalyzed the wondrous museum-exhibit featuring the incredibly eerie and strange visage-appearances of these Martian 'insect-dragon beings' who seemed to be out some Dante-nightmarish vision of derivative darkness. However, the museum highlighted what media offered on Earth --- a 'light' for diary.
