Monopoly-Wife

Narrated 'claim' of a Monopoly-lottery winner whose newfound life 'earns' him a special 'vision' of capitalism's race 'Ego' face.

A lottery-tale (fiction) inspired by the unusual movie It Could Happen to You (Nicolas Cage). Thanks for reading (and Happy Holidays!),

I couldn't believe I won the fantastic McDonald's Monopoly game-contest involving finding the right match for Park-Place real-estate token-ticket which made me an instant millionaire, which I then converted into even more money with a rich-strike investment in Ford Motor Company (F) which suddenly made me a real-life American Richie Rich.

I'd been a psychologist and chess-homeschooling teacher working with students in New England and Northern Ireland for stalemate-diagrams for politics-stabilization intelligence when I decided I'd 'splurge' my child-like fancy for a change and play the McDonald's rendition of lottery tied to consumerism (fast-food) and led to me sharing my fortune-expression on social-media (ha).

I met a beautiful woman through the Internet who became my Euro mail-order-bride (Tandy) and whisked her away to Switzerland where we'd been interviewed by a certain Dutch journalist who wanted to know if all this newfound 'escape' drew me to leave-behind my 'mind' labors of chess-homeschooling, and I knew she was testing my idealism about striking it rich. I told her, "I love my wife...she's not just a prize...but a deity."

TANDY: A vintage-auto as part of the Monopoly-chance newborn life is part of the 'blend' of the social-media prize race.

We had a son (Damian) for whom I purchased a special Strike-Force (Upper Deck) sports transfer-market Super Bowl vision post-Philly Cunningham-QB (Viking!) card gem and told him, "This little 'token' of sports-commerce 'treasure' is like the Park-Place ticket which drew me to your mom...perhaps this one will draw you to some 'fantastic' life design too!"

This is the story of simple fortune and charms of capitalism in life, consumerism at its most thrilling, and the surprising if odd optimism generated by life's special 'luck' and such a 'faerie-tale' might make you wonder why there's such a 'dark' element to capitalism these days (i.e., terrorism), but it does generate in the human race expression memory. Of course it does...and it's why a Martian might 'naturally envy' our race (ha)!
