Mistletoe Promises*

A Story by Abishai100

An ad-man (Chicago) may cross an 'Xmas-promise' of imagined human effort.

A Windy-City Xmas 'fable' inspired by various media...for February!

Amlan Satan lived in the Windy-City of the Bulls-Bears markets and worked in a toy marketing consulting (ad) firm and worked specifically with robot toys representing the iconic US-city and all its splendor/machinery regarding the robotic mechanics of capitalist race functioning storyboards and inventive 'automation' imagination.

AMLAN: We've been working with a social-media platform to invite Windy-City Xmas-consumers to consider personality behind modern capitalism-symbolic 'robot-toys' for our firm's new excellence-ad campaign regarding the 'face(s)' behind commerce-life chess (wow).

Xmas-consumerism is quite a production in the Windy-City, perhaps especially in this post-9/11 new millennium 'age' of commerce-traffic Homeland securities storyboards (hmm). Well, for Chicago, Amlan Satan had become something of a 'robot-toy' aficionado and messenger of the capitalist race, drawing even the envy of 'spying' Martians watching all this holiday-season kids' shopping for the tones/colors/shapes of what had made consumerism both secured...and superstitious!

AMLAN: We've gotten a great service-force assistance job for our ad-firm community residential area this Xmas-season for that blizzard 'event' which ironically generated 'sufficient' social-media engines to fuel a successful consumerism season (profit-index!) for our robot-toy underlining (ha).

Well, despite all these Xmas-season robot/toy/consumerism spirit, the prince of ad-media and capitalist race excellence in chess-marketing was still feeling something was 'lacking' for the holiday-time in the Windy-City as he began to cheer on sports-media activity like Bears games while the Super Bowl ad-season approached. He felt lonely. You see folks, Mr. Satan started to think of himself as a human-workaholic and less of a human being. Was this good for social-media examination?

Sure, it was. Amlan Satan left work early on December 12th eve and hopped onto a horse-street carriage in the city of Chicago, as the lights of the consumerist season shined brightly and rode around seeking a special woman of Romanticism, perhaps clothed in a Santa-suit or red-Xmas dress/coat or hat! As the carriage came to the end of its tour-ride, he spotted his mighty Aphrodite in the Xmas Windy-City (wow).

CHICAGO WOMAN: Are you seeking magic, carriage-riding fellow?
SATAN: I work with superstitions in markets; perhaps I've lacked magic for myself!

CHICAGO WOMAN: That's funny; I work with children's arts/books on the cyber-platform (hmm).

SATAN: That's fascinating!

CHICAGO WOMAN: So, what's the proposition here, carriage-riding beckoning fellow (tonight)?
SATAN: Hop onto my carriage, my lady; perhaps share with me your 'faerie' children's book-arts (for Xmas!).

CHICAGO WOMAN: Maybe I'm lonely too...Xmas is 'dark' without magic (no?).

SATAN: It certainly can be; you should become my 'faerie' tale (name?).

CHICAGO WOMAN: Esmerelda ('Ezzy').

SATAN: Awesome, Ezzy; I'm Amlan Satan; ad-exec man of good repute.

CHICAGO WOMAN: Maybe I've a faerie to share with you (on social-media).

SATAN: We'll make each other...rich (eh?).

CHICAGO WOMAN: Alright!

Amlan Satan and Esmerelda got married the next month (January) and remembered that Romanticism-Xmas season as a time when they'd forget about the world of work and invest in each other, and their shared joint social-media venture for 'costumed' fun for Xmas enjoyed by both kids/adults for commercial traffic in Chicago highlighted something they both intimated on that horse-carriage in the Windy-City --- romance is a matter of mistletoe-promises...for the Ego's armistice.
