Thought of the Grinch

A Story by Abishai100

A modern intellectual finds some startling humility to enhance his cyber-pursuits of 'pure' modern/Western dowry.

A 'fable' about developed sensibilities regarding 'real' Earth-friendliness, inspired by Dr. Seuss' The Grinch. Enjoy,

In New England lived a Grinch-scholar named Amlan Satan who'd been hybridizing forms of folk-populism politics with modern ideations of 'advanced' Republicanism in cyber-blogs about 'wrought' democratic reforms favoring the unemployed, casting himself as a modern day cyber-rendition of Thomas Nast.

The Grinch (Amlan Satan) had become something of a social-dynamics erudition pundit and was associated with a very respected Ivy-institution and was therefore afforded even extra-credit forms of sociology-IQ laurels for his evergrowing popular cyber-blogs about transformed/wrought social-media driven democratic dialogue in the West. No one would/could really debate with him.

GRINCH (Amlan Satan): I find I've two 'personalities' --- one of a New England typical conservative forester, and the other a playful comics-arts/politics driven Halloweentime reveler of New England drawn by images of great modern Western dollars.

What made the Grinch really 'fantastic' was his uncanny gift with chess-play and how he'd 'draw-in' opponents with his special knack for entreating their personal 'touches' to chess-piece position-movement strategy-IQ and creating an 'aura' of personality-driven hospitality on the chess-board, facilitating forms of personality-based chess-play fantasy between the opponents. No one would/could argue that the Grinch (Amlan Satan) wasn't a truly 'human' chess-play dentist.

GRINCH (Amlan Satan): I've established a special/wondrous chess-club at my Ivy-school catering to politics-modeled strategy!

That's when the Grinch (Amlan Satan) finally met his match, in the form of a visiting/spying Martian female-alien, an insect-dragon like beautiful humanoid named Isha who wished to challenge Satan in chess-play and complemented his personality-driven chess-play orientation(s) with a certain 'machine-like' counter-play 'tactic' which required the Grinch to be much more 'deliberate' in competition-detention!

GRINCH (Amlan Satan): After my drawn stalemate-condition(s) chess-play with the Martian, I've no choice but to transform my life in New England and seek a more humbled/romanticized form of self-exiled socialized expressive 'friendliness' for my 'reformed' cyber-blogs about the 'quality' of wrought democratic disparity, and I 'think' I've met such a woman --- a Dartmouth-linguist named Shelbye Danica.

Shelbye/Amlan got married and he began to learn culinary-arts skills and employed them to feel/be more romantic in daily-life despite all his New England (Ivy) laurels/amenities, and she commented, "He's the Grinch no more or way less, me thinks."

The Grinch (Amlan Satan) set-up show in his New England area, in a lovely riverside home in Vermont where he'd teach his growing son (Damian) how to play chess and 'take-in' the scenic magic of Earth that created the sort of magical imaginations about folk-friendliness and democratic diarism that he'd ignored on his younger rise to social-media dialogue/democracy oriented individualistic density.
