A Jersey-trio of Ivy-grads face a specter-being requiring absolute transcendence/courage.

A smalltown parable about life interrupted featuring the stranger Headless Horseman, which I hope you'll like,

Haddonfield (NJ) is where a trio of Ivy-grads (Amlan/Ezzy/Raki) were living/visiting to create a special life-portrait of American magic and capitalist intuition and realized then there was something unusual/unnatural in the air that season in 2023 when they left Princeton to settle down in that otherwise idyllic American smalltown of great shops/eateries.



AMLAN: Me thinks the presence of that old 'Headless Horseman' pervades this experience/exercise in Haddonfield normality!
EZZY: Maybe we should consider ways to track/log this 'entity' as a roving messenger of capitalism follies in this Jersey-town.
RAKI: I wonder if there's social-media commentary in this age regarding a public/celebrity interest in town-lore paranoia!



The Haddonfield Bunch/Trio decided to get a special Richie-Rich comic to protect themselves metaphysically from the haunting presence of the Headless Horseman whom they'd been certain was casting a long ominous shadow over public perceptions of capitalism-life/fortune superstitions, and this comic would also boost the bunch/trio with a certain dynamics-magic and image of ambition normalization for a secured American 'casino' dream.



Unfortunately, the spirituality-shield of the Richie-Rich comic didn't offer Amlan/Ezzy/Raki the necessary protection from the haunting presence of the ominous and evil Headless Horseman that 2023-season in old Haddonfield, for the beguiling specter spotted the trio/bunch sitting in the forest in autumn for a picnic at about 4pm and rushed towards them on his horse and with his decapitation-sword and explosive hurling pumpkin and forced the frightened Ivy-grad trio to run for their meager lives!



AMLAN: I can't believe we escaped from the clutches of that sinister being in the woods, you guys!
EZZY: I know; it surely was a sign of dark times in this modern age of commerce indulgences (is my guess).
RAKI: I doubt he'll cast his shadow over us again in Haddonfield (now); his only 'agenda' was to deliver a 'bounty' feeling.
