A Story by Abishai100
"

An Atlantic-City 'prince' negotiates the metaphysics of fortune-superstitions and 'magic' in the West and may discover 'real' drama.

"
A tale of fortune in America and superstitions of intelligent risk/investment.

====

Amlan Satan lived in Atlantic-City (NJ/USA) and thought about the fortune-imagination building his chess-world of capitalism ambitions as he invested in Wall Street and daydreamed about an incredible gold-pot on the beach and on the famous Boardwalk (wow).



AMLAN SATAN: I just need a 'quickie' scheme of dreamers to find social-media investors in my cyber-comics (ha).



What he needed was a 'true' miracle, and as the Super Bowl approached and the Eagles-Chiefs competed to see who'd be the king of the world from the East-West rivalry match of superpowers in the media-broadcast age, Prince Satan decided to invest in some companies, from both Philadelphia and Kansas-City.



AMLAN SATAN: I've done it; struck some oil/gold, but only from Philly (for some comics-tales online!).



He met a beautiful Atlantic-City waitress (Esmerelda) and married her and made her egg-curry and told her of that now 'famous' Super Bowl during which he found a small Wall Street investment fortune as the Eagles triumphed and would remind folks of their defiant upset of the once seemingly 'invincible' Patriots (New England).



ESMERELDA: These capitalism-adventure tales/comics you write are like a 'street' version of James Bond; makes me wonder if you're somehow afraid (paranoid!) of some horrifying Earth-fortune 'trouble' or something, dear.
AMLAN: Maybe I am, darling (thanks).



JOURNAL: "The courage of capitalists and the fear of ruin/danger comprise a purely 'Western' impression."
