The 'Duty-Free' Set*

The 'Duty-Free' Set*

A Story by Abishai100
"

Narrated journal-claim of an 'Earth-prince' whose hypnosis with a baseball-figurine themed chess-set draws him to an omen-encounter with a Martian with a 'dare' for species-docs.

"
A special 'fable' about sports, omens, and temperance, drawn from some of the 'cool' thematics in the iconic Friday the 13th: The Series, which I think you'll like!

I'd been a social-media advocate and cyber-chess (e.g., Facebook-chess) fan and decided to look into a purchase of a very-fine baseball-figurine chess-set from a Boston merchant.



My name's Amlan Satan, and I'm a princely inheritor of fortunes living in New England and a Dartmouth-grad. I've been experimenting with ideations of stalemate-chess diagrams for politics-symbolic decision-making IQ, reflective of real-world 'issues' like the Cold War (USA/USSR).



This very-fine baseball-figurine chess-set was something that caught my mind/spirit(s), since I'd been an 'avid-fan' of sports and cards-collecting (baseball!) since I was a young boy, and I desperately wanted this chess-set to think of 'creative' ways of 'simulating' a 'synthetics' rendition of some of the more memorable World Series matchups featuring 'cool' strategy-like management/choreography. It was the ideal chess-set/toy for me, right?



I decided to get my girlfriend this special Cincinnati fangear-jacket, since one of the Series-strategies/arrays I was 'synthesizing' on my chess-set in my dreams, the baseball-figurine modeled/crafted chess-set sold/marketed by the offbeat Boston merchant, involved the Cincinnati city team shocking the dominating Goliath in what resurrected the city's spirit(s) following an age of great depression (yeah).



All these 'human-world' ideations of what made chess/stalemate a 'thing' of great fantasy/IQ drew me to the eyes/vision of a deranged spying moon-Martian named Endymion who'd been 'eyeing' the human world from the Earth-moon and noticed my social-media blogs about my 'fantastic' baseball-chess set/toy and my 'links' to the Series-synthetics for fanfare/chat(s). He suggested my lofty pursuit of the imagination of chess-play was something out of the movies in the United Sates (ha)!



ENDYMION: Damn; you've used a swift rook-bishop double-line to counter my offensive queen-knight marches now; damn!
AMLAN SATAN (Me): Excellence, Mr. Martian; perhaps this 'stalemate'-condition(s) gameplay warrants sovereignty-diplomacy.
ENDYMION: Damn; perhaps I'll self-exile to the Earth deep-ocean abyss as an isolationist-scholar of your capitalism-world.
AMLAN SATAN: All good things come to the private/curious, Endymion; perhaps I'll invest in that Series-cards set.
ENDYMION: Good; foregoing your 'hypnosis' with that baseball-figurine chess-set/toy (me thinks) affords capital-doughnuts!
AMLAN SATAN (Me): I feel like a 'movie-character' out some afterschool-storybreak special/message about treasure-deeds.



ENDYMION: That 'Earth-prince' seems to 'toast' the magic-IQ of intuitive 'human' response(s); he was the 'right' doll!
