Windy Market {A}

A consumer-woman in London-Fog coat is at a Chicago street-event and encounters a 'funny-stranger' who draws a magical diary.

A strange political encounter in Chicago, inspired by the 'journal'-thematics in the excellence-driven Western civilization film The Post (Tom Hanks). Thanks for reading,

The challenging Windy-City of the iconic/reflective Bulls-Bears (market!) hosted a special Saturday daytime market 'event' which would see the merchandising/selling of various goods/products/crafts including a rare book, foods, consumer items, and special treasures. A stranger was visiting this Chicago event and create a special 'fantasy' for a traveling consumer-woman (Sandy)!

SANDY: I wonder what the Windy-City's offering to me this 'glorious' Saturday for consumerism/capital-IQ (maybe art!)!

Sandy was in a nice London-Fog trench-coat that glorious-Saturday in the challenging Windy-City, as the weather was in the 50s and somewhat 'cool' for her. She found a cool stand at the Chicago market which offered a 'lucky' buyer a rather rare-edition of Treasure Island (Robert Louis Stevenson).

SANDY: Funny; this is the 'treasure' for this city-market day; a 'cool' post-9/11 era copy of an iconic work about fortune-IQ.

At the book-stand at the challenging Windy-City Saturday-daytime market is where Sandy first encountered the 'stranger' who'd been visiting the city from sectarian (Catholic-Protestant) Northern Ireland (United Kingdom). The Stranger smiled at Sandy and handed her an art-print card describing an anti-piracy unit infiltrating blood-diamond smugglers-vehicles in already-troubled (sectarian!) Northern Ireland (Catholic-Protestant), claiming the card-group was enlisting the 'aid' of publishers for journals regarding blood-diamond troubles in Belfast requiring new age monitors. The Stranger intrigued the traveling consumer-woman Sandy in the challenging Windy-City and felt 'moved' to accept his 'cool' offer for some post-market 'affair' coffee at the local bistro (Dartmouth). Perhaps he'd share with her some of his 'cool' Foreign Irish Republican Army comments/posts/reactions on social-media (e.g., Facebook).

SANDY: Why won't you tell me your full-name, Stranger?
STRANGER: Well...I'd rather keep our 'affair' in this Saturday bistro discreet for regular chat(s), Sandy!

SANDY: Alright; so you claim you're an 'advocate' of cyber-chess and hype baseball-figurine themed chess-sets for youth?
STRANGER: It's 'fantastic' youth-activity for modern United Kingdom; I noticed your American-TV ads about President-chess.

SANDY: Oh, yes; that President-crafted chess-set was quite hyped on American TV stations, right!

STRANGER: It's become a world connected by lifestyle/imagination activity, for sure (e.g., Home Shopping Network).

The Stranger struck Sandy like he was right out of some 'cooler' or more fun work of Albert Camus, the 'quintessential' apolitical philosophical absurdist/existential writer who offered the world the iconic novel The Stranger, which Sandy, incidentally, read in high-school (Chicago Public S), and when the funny Stranger handed/gifted the Windy-City consumer-woman (in her 'iconic' London-Fog trenchcoat!) a pair of very dainty/delicious glass poodle-animals (gems!), she had to confess to him she was falling for her 'unique' and almost 'existentialist' charms in Chicago! They began dating and he took her to the very-same bistro the next Saturday afternoon and gave her (gifts!) to more glass-poodle animals (gems).

STRANGER: I drew you this 'funny' consumerism-avatar, for capitalism-chess IQ, Sandy --- "Evil-Elf".

SANDY: This is very interesting, Stranger; what it means is rather obvious --- youth-humor(s).

STRANGER: Excellence; it's a world of cyber-chess for the youthful 'drawn' by ideations of capitalism-IQ, Sandy darling.

SANDY: You're really a 'funny' being, Stranger.

DIARY: The Stranger left my company in 1 month; I'd never see him, imagining him in Belfast; Chicago gave me a dream.
