Veil-Red

A Story by Abishai100

What would true-romance be for a real-life James Bond, and would it come colored in 'red' expression(s)?

An Xmas-day fable about discovery of 'colored' romance in a world of otherwise 'sane' darkness (or claustrophobia!), inspired by the film-gem The Woman in Red (Gene Wilder), which I think you'll enjoy!

Blood-diamond corruption created a blanket of Hell around the Earth because of misused precious minerals for rogue terrorism finances stemming from conflict-zones and stretching to diamond-markets across the planet and creating an insurance ugliness in gem-stores/exchanges and requiring a new form of 'James Bond' character to create the right-stuff of capitalist human race expression of assurances for commerce-life Ego.

This James Bond happens to be an underground 'GI-Joe' covert action-agent named Storm-Shadow (real-name: Amlan Satan) who'd intercepted blood-diamond motions with chess-stalemate diagrams for insurance securities stretching between British Columbia (North America) and Northern Ireland (United Kingdom), and this complicated new millennium tribulations of already-challenging faces, including 9/11, the Coronavirus, and the Russo-Ukraine War creating unsteadiness about human intelligence.

STORM-SHADOW (Amlan Satan): We want improved street-traffic life arts for modern tribulations and capitalism policework.

Storm-Shadow had become a micro-celebrity in the Earth-underground, and his sort of chess-action work would even draw the natural envy of a spying Martian making comments about the capitalist human race like, "The human-world is all about the features of social-media 'use' for chess-extractions in the dominion of valor...or vanity!"

STORM-SHADOW: Perhaps we've the right materials-sciences to cast ourselves as social-media 'comic-heroes for hijacks.

Well, this real-life James Bond had performed various levels of real action-agency in Northern Ireland and destroyed the sense that corrupted diamond-exchange insurance was a 'dark' reality of modern Earth created by the root-problem of 'sullied' mineral mining/extraction and hence restored the 'original' capitalism vision of a commerce-friendly world of secured exchanges in bonds of treasure-communications (or stories!).

AMLAN SATAN: "To be a 'man' of this capitalism universe, we've got to express human activity as securities-maturity (wow)."

CYBER-WRITER (Fanzine): All this modern intelligence-chess intrigue with capitalism-securities invokes images of hyperbole!

Of course, we need this sort of imagery of a cyber-trolling James Bond with the right tones/visage of street-friendly accessibility for folklore, and truly, Storm-Shadow of the GI-Joe 'force' of capitalism duty was an affable hero of modern time, and he might be considered the 'Charles Schultz' of anti-terrorism with his 'median-demeanor' of youth-friendly patriotism social-media posts about 'inventive' vigilantism praising the traditions in America of 'romanticized' policework (e.g., Eliot Ness and the Untouchables).

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond corruption today threatens the world-gem exchange and makes terrorism woe!

To erase this darkness in diamond-market/capitalism securities insurance for modern commerce and everyday consumerism (Valentine's Day, Xmas, etc.), one has to see the expanse/scales of the negative impact of the erosion of world-economics created by underground piracy/smuggling and gem-corruption that would destabilize otherwise 'sane' overground commerce-life economics-improvements talks in arenas like UK Parliament favoring the consumerism Ego of the Irish-Catholic 'underclass' of 'troubled' Northern Ireland (wow).

STORM-SHADOW: Our Crusade for GI-Joe is one of improved street-storytelling for the very lives of Christmas storytellers!

ALIEN (Fanzine): The richness of capitalism requires attention to the 'ornaments' of Earth's fortune-chess; it's a daydream!

INTERVIEW: Do you believe this human race is one of 'refined' chess-stalemate maturity for capitalism-securities these days?
AMLAN SATAN: Of course; I've this fantastic Xmas-themed chess-set which I toast on social-media as a 'sign' for peace!

INTERVIEW: Well...perhaps with all this 'brainiac' work for human Romanticism, you need a 'replica' dose of true romance.

AMLAN SATAN: Aha, a lovely 'lady-in-red' to greet/meet/encounter in Paris or Moscow and gift her this Xmas-chess toy, eh?

INTERVIEW: Excellence!

JOURNAL (Storm-Shadow): "Even a good GI-Joe trolling like a Halloween-costume 'avatar' needs a 'magic' watch for romance?"

MYSTERY-WOMAN: Do you come to this Irish bookstore often, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN SATAN: Well...I try to make it here on Saturdays and Sunday afternoons, lovely lady.
MYSTERY-WOMAN: Have you read Robert Ludlum or Edith Wharton (my faves)?
AMLAN SATAN: You share your fave-authors with me like you're extending a certain 'book-shop floor' courtesy.
MYSTERY-WOMAN: You sound like a James Bond, Mr. Satan!
AMLAN SATAN: You have the look of a sharp beauty with some mystery-thorn as if there's an edge for humor/sarcasm.
MYSTERY-WOMAN: You sound jaded, indeed, Mr. Satan!
AMLAN SATAN: Are you a fan of pizza or seafood-quiche, lovely lady?
MYSTERY-WOMAN: Maybe...
AMLAN SATAN: Maybe I'll write a cyber-comic about encountering a 'lady-in-red' at a bookshop and discovery of chess!
MYSTERY-WOMAN: Chess?
AMLAN SATAN: I play chess all the time...this round seems more like a 'chance' game for encounter with 'alien' magic.
MYSTERY-WOMAN: I'm not a Martian if that's what you ask, Mr. Satan.
AMLAN SATAN: I know that (haha)...I just mean to suggest...my James Bond edge (if I do have one as you inquire) is softened.
MYSTERY-WOMAN: I didn't know a real 'James Bond' would be so easily/conveniently 'softened' by men.
AMLAN SATAN: Goodness gracious...me thinks you just might be the 'actual' lady-in-red; I'm to declare an American surrender.

MYSTERY-WOMAN: That's the Depression.

AMLAN SATAN: Bank robbery was romantic during the Depression (Bonnie-and-Clyde), lovely lady!

MYSTERY-WOMAN: Perhaps this 'encounter' in this bookshop signals a strange 'shake' of expectations...even for alien-life.

AMLAN SATAN: Are you going to make a 'man' out of me, lovely lady?
MYSTERY-WOMAN: Hey, maybe they made movies about me (princess-diaries)!
