Amlan Satan had studied capitalism labyrinths and Adam Smith at Brown (Providence) and became an Ivy-master of the idea of commerce-life Ego defenses in the post-9/11 era and Rhode Island artist of consumerism lifestyle cartoons online before deciding to become a blood-diamond analyst in Northern Ireland and continued however to entreat his love of the idyllic Ivy-campus on social-media.

AMLAN SATAN: I cast James Bond 'Selfie' work jokes and serious insurance heist intelligence before snapping; I needed help.

He admitted himself into the Providence psychiatric haven after dismissing his duties with Interpol-relation and then began to unfold his notes and comics-cartoons doodles about capitalism faerie-tales, disclosing the root-nature of his motives for world-intelligence proportional to his lifelong estrangement from is alcoholic father and what drove him to become a 'superhero' of the comics-variety, a 'James Bond' character, which is why his doctor, Jen, realized what he needed more than anything at Providence-Wellness, was a true 'sense' of the composition of life diagramming and the humility of confronting ambition envisioned as a form of therapy (wow).

JEN (Psychiatrist): You 'strike' me as a 'James Bond' fan who simply needs to indulge in the simpler comforts of movies/home.

SATAN (Amlan): You're right (of course!), doc; I need to watch more movies, perhaps about hypochondria, Jen.

JEN: Do you 'think' movies and social-media entreat a natural fear of hypochondria...or claustrophobia?
SATAN (Amlan): Maybe I need a simple 'Aphrodite' to cure my 'sense' of alienation from ambition/guerrilla-chess.

JEN: Like I said, you should consider unwinding with movie-time night at Wellness (now).

SATAN (Amlan): Alright!

Being put on a 'good' dosage of Klonopin and 'forced' movie-time night(s) at Wellness (Providence), Satan had more time to reflect on his education/experience at his alma-mater (Brown) and how 'Ivy-intelligentsia arrogance' had shaped his view(s) on the quality of ambition confidence (or fury!). Was he like a Bazarov (Turgenev), forcing pure excellence through veiled rebelliousness against a 'Statehood father-figure' perhaps shadowing his own father/daddy? He wanted his Klonopin to feel like a cure, and he started falling in love with his doc...Jen!

JOURNAL: Remedy to retreat(s) from ambition-work in the world of intelligence requires chess-emotions for home-inside.

JEN: I got you these 'glowing' blue-flower artworks, Satan.

AMLAN: Thanks, doc...seems like what I need for a writing about the great Depression (or something).

JEN: Are you a fan of Bonnie and Clyde (Depression-era bank-robbers) or something?
AMLAN: Yes, yes, I am; in fact, I've been thinking about my casting of beauty as veiled rebelliousness.

JEN: Fascinating...still feel 'good' with the Klonopin (dosages)?

AMLAN: Yeah...beauty is in the brain(s) of the patient soul.

JEN: Sure; good!

Amlan Satan had a dream he was abducted by aliens and was forced to play chess against a monarch Martian named Endymion with whom he managed a micro-miracle 'stalemate-chess' condition and drew a miracle sovereignty-accord regarding a safe/peaceful non-invasion policy of Earth.

JEN: You believe you'd become the Earth 'chess' Savior?
AMLAN: What's wrong with a little 'fantasy' about chess warding off alien invasion(s)?

JEN: Is this your casing of your preoccupation/hypochondria surrounding Bazarov?
AMLAN: Maybe...yeah (thanks).

JEN: I put him on suicide watch (Satan).

WELLNESS-ADMINISTRATION: You claim he'd been playing for hours with his 'alien-invader' chess-set (now).

JEN: Yeah...I fear his hypochondria regarding paternalism paranoia manifests in strange fantasies about 'wrought' IQ.

WELLNESS: Some men of the world seem drowning in their own 'sense' of inherited/acquired rebelliousness/genius!

JEN: Yeah...and I'm developing affectionate emotions/care for this English patient.

WELLNESS: Good to feel honest, doctor; perhaps consider playing with his alien-chess toy with him...see if he sees daylight.

JEN: Alright.

"Medicine was certainly intended to be a career. I wanted to become a psychiatrist, an adolescent ambition which, of course, is fulfilled by many psychiatrists. The doctor/psychiatrist figures in my writing are alter egos of a kind, what I would have been had I not become a writer - a personal fantasy that I've fed into my fiction" (JG Ballard).
