Berkshires Liar {Examination}

Can a pensive Ivy-man deliver a 'stranger promise' to his challenged (Algerian) father in the Homeland, for a Berkshires/timeshare vacation worth the 'constructive' telling?

"Should I travel to the Berkshires (New England) timeshare with my 'dad' (an expatriate-alcoholic getting over the loss of his mail-order-bride 'girlfriend' because of a car accident in New York)?" wondered Prince Amlan Satan to himself. He'd been an eccentric Ivy-professor and would escort his troubled and eccentric Algerian-emigrant father (Emit) to the Berkshires (timeshare) to see if they'd bond spiritually in this experience so he'd share the 'examination' of bonds (familial) on social-media with others in this 'Selfie' culture of lifestyle-intelligence!

BERKSHIRES: We're so pleased to have you here with us, Prince Amlan (with your father Emit) and anticipate wonderful-time.

EMIT: This can be a time of great emotions between us, and I know you've conceived I'm a man of harshness since the crash!

AMLAN: I know, I know; but I'm making 'stalemate-chess' diagrams online for my cyber-homeschooling 'project' from here now.

EMIT: That's excellence; I don't seek to disturb your teaching 'schedule' while pursuing this Homeland amenity-meditation, no.

AMLAN: Good; that's good, father; this Homeland (Berkshires) examination of our bond-time will inspire good art for me too.

EMIT: Alright!

Prince Amlan made his father homemade pizza with local market-bought 'fresh' ingredients and pursued his Berkshires examination of the splendors of Homeland magic and life as a man of capitalism-culture/education while pensively brooding about how to reach-out to Emit as a son of prayers. Meanwhile, Prince Satan's post-Ivy homeschooling venture flourished, and he 'accented' it with more 'ingredients' from his laptop at the Berkshires and even took time to go swimming and planned to attend the main-ballroom gathering/party event choreographed for a Saturday-Eve in this Homeland (wow).

AMLAN: I've met a beautiful woman at the Berkshires 'gathering' (Euro-transfer!) who gifted me a traditional chess-set for us!

EMIT: I've not played chess since I was a teen or something like that (Algiers), Amlan.

AMLAN: I know an 'excellent' double-bishop split-diagonal 'dance' move that will excite your 'senses' of free-will imagination!

EMIT: Sounds interesting; even for me, 'Doctor' Satan.

AMLAN: This will help you forget the 'darkness' of the crash, Emit --- we can 'pray' together about molded intelligence.

EMIT: Alright (thanks).

Boy, did this Earth-prince get a 'recharge' out of life's challenges/hurdles at the Berkshires (New England) with Emit, his darkened-mind daddy in that examination of familial bonds tested by trauma/emotions/memory. Emit bought Amlan a special eBay-purchased 'rare-illustration' edition of Treasure Island, which Amlan Satan would (forever!) remember as a 'diadem' of what makes Homeland life (United States) unifyingly 'literary' --- definition of lifespan (hmm).

Incidentally, Amlan Satan married that 'pretty (masquerade) woman' he met at the Berkshires gathering/party during that Homeland 'vacation' examination, a lovely Euro-lady (Tiara) to whom he'd confide in about the delicate balances in modern civilization (and on social-media!) between personality/emotion...and the 'image' of 'American' distance-bridges.
