Starman-Chess Deal

A Story by Abishai100

Sandy turns her attention on her Ivy-campus from sports-to-chess and meets a nerdy-charmer who claims he's Venusian (alien!).

A nice chess-fable inspired very loosely by the very cool film Starman (John Carpenter). Enjoy,

A special Ivy-chess club was a great place or social group of interest to Sandy, who kept dreaming of streamlining her more sports-cheering imagination with something more cerebral or even more nerdy!

So Sandy decided to join the Ivy-chess club and didn't know what to expect (really) from this new-life ideation of conforming her more 'vivacious' sports-IQ/cheerleading interests with this cerebral 'academic' imagination and decided to start posting images on social-media about marketing chess to tourists.

During this activity in this chess-arena, Sandy met a very nice and charming young (nerdy!) young man, a real chess-maestro named Amlan Satan who kept joking to her that he loved Facebook-chess and social-media because he hailed from the Planet Venus.

SANDY: This Venus painting you have is really fantastic, Satan.

AMLAN: Thanks, Sandy; as you can see, I see more than you'd think/imagine in Venus --- I can see 'faces' of the mist/magic!

SANDY: Why'd you want me (specifically) to think/believe you're a Venusian?

AMLAN: For starters, I'm charmed by your active interests in chess, which is really more science-fiction than athletics.

SANDY: True!

Amlan took Sandy to the basement of the Ivy-campus library and showed her the 'visage' of a female old-lady ghost-specter he'd kept witnessing everytime he went down there. In fact, Sandy was indeed shocked and now truly believed her new 'chess-buddy' was not a normal human person but an 'alien' from Venus. This was revelation.

SANDY: I've fallen in love with you, Satan; I got you this awesome Upper-Deck Olerud rookie-card; a modern antique.

AMLAN: It's neo-classical; I know it; it's the best rookie-card edition of that under-valued player (dual pitcher-batter talent).

SANDY: I'm in love with you, Venusian.

AMAN: This Earth-trip was worth the weight in fantasy, Sandy (sweetheart)!

Amlan got Sandy this terrific modern-art painting caricature of the deep density and metaphysics vertigo of the Cold-War and why the iconic chess-rivalry between Fischer-Spassky created much media/movie-lore, and Sandy had no choice but to reply, "This chess-courting has become our 'secret' alien tryst for real distances, Amlan Satan." They were making love now!

AMLAN: I made you chowder-from-scratch...I have to return to Venus, darling.

SANDY: Damn; enjoy what I have now (right?).

Amlan Satan really was a chess-touring 'starman' (alien) from Venus! He returned to his home-planet upon the conclusion of his 'truly' exciting social-media chess-adventure/journey but left dear Sandy a gift science-fiction crafted cyber-chess game for her to share with new friends she'd make online on the Ivy-campus. She kissed him and wished him well. This was an ironic chess triumph.
