A Muse for December

A Story by Abishai100

A 'straight-American' has deep-thoughts about the Ego, chess, and muses of inspiration as he negotiates a 'straight' dream.

A tale of Earth race 'wrought' self-sensitivity inspired by the 'consciousness' thematics of The Straight Story (David Lynch).

Amlan Satan lived alone and commuted to work in the harsh winter of his residential area of America, and it never really got that warm in that part of Earth outside the deep summer months, and so he'd always been something of a 'cold-trekker' and considered his isolated/private life a thing of personal meditations, though he recently became a fan of social-media, in the form of a cyber-chess society tied to the NewPorcellain (Windy-City).

NEW-PORCELLIAN JOURNAL (Amlan Satan): All these overground world-traffic ideations of regular traffic and commerce-life Ego traffic drew a special chess-society 'avatar' I'd been casting as our 'Aphrodite' of the cyber-grid of capitalism-IQ, and this muse-faerie is a cyber-combat games arena 'angel' named Kitana, a bladed woman-warrior who reminded me that the nature of the capitalist race may be one of 'simplified' divinity; she's become someone I look to, in my otherwise isolated/quiet life, as an 'inspiration' for human race network godliness, and her image is 'translation' friendly for just about any 'good woman' you'd find today in a supermarket, bookstore, social festival, or restaurant, and you'd think about a 'fair' intelligence (wow).

Amlan Satan, this funny Earth-prince, began to explore various youth-oriented social-media and cartoons/movies in his otherwise isolated/quiet life in that cold region of America and fantasized about what he'd be cast as in his own mind, a 'sorcerer' balancing private meditations with social-cyber activity for participant intelligence in civilization perhaps and chose a cartoon sorcerer named Venger and then cast one of Venger's female 'rivals' in the form of a forest-conspirator princess-warrior named Thief and wondered how he and his cyber-combat 'muse' or Aphrodite named Kitana (the blade-fan warrior-woman from video-game lore) could be 'likened' to a Venger/Thief pseudo-romantic imagery regarding male-female 'network' direction.

JOURNAL (Amlan Satan): Yeah, I'm Venger, and Kitana's the rival Thief, and we're drawn by Romanticism for a 'cyber' special!

Of course, the modern era of street-commerce life imagination would indeed give 'space' for ideations of envisioned angels and faeries of everyday life 'magic' if you didn't tend to the 'claustrophobic' senses of capitalism-consciousness or the tremors of anti-capitalism terrorism (e.g., 9/11). When Prince Satan (Amlan) visited a supermarket one Saturday afternoon, he almost 'swore' he envisioned a normal, if attractive, young female shopper who reminded him (exactly!) of Kitana, his Aphrodite (hmm).

JOURNAL (Amlan Satan): I told this supermarket customer I thought she was Kitana and asked her if I could make her soup.

SHELBYE (Supermarket Girl): This egg-curry 'soup' is divine, and I think it goes great with your pilaf-puri accompaniment(s).

AMLAN: I knew you'd like it...and I hoped to call you 'Kitana' as a dinner-date muse for memoir (for my future novel).

SHELBYE: What's your novel about, Satan?
AMLAN: It's about a private/unrecognized chess-wizard who searches for an 'Aphrodite' to normalize his mental agony.

SHELBYE: Sounds like us (haha).

AMLAN: I agree, Shelbye!

SHELBYE: Yeah, call me Kitana (if you like); I'm sure she'd like this egg-soup gourmet dish too, hmm.

AMLAN: That's great.

Amlan/Shelbye got married and had a son (Damian) for whom he purchased a very special 'alien-invader' themed chess-set/toy for his birthday so he'd teach him about a 'special' civilization awareness regarding the sensitive perception of traffic migration fears and 'aliens' and the wrought sensitive 'intelligence' of self-aware confidence/presence in life, in this world of commerce/capitalism. He also told Damian about his youthful daydream about Aphrodite/Kitana.

DAMIAN: Mom will say this alien-chess toy is like your dream of Kitana/Aphrodite, dad!

AMLAN: That's right, Damian; in fact, when we think of 'aliens' on Earth, we think of the mind's control of fear itself (wow!).

Prince Satan (Amlan) did indeed end up writing his great 'modern-consciousness' American novel titled Becoming Pensive/American, which won him the Pulitzer. He and Shelbye and their son Damian continued to flower their developed 'good-life' on Earth, and he'd never forget his 'secret' Aphrodite/Kitana as he continued to invest in what made Western social-media/'Selfie' culture a re-presentation of the human Ego distance(s)...to 'human' excellence.
