Sturbridge/Strangers (Jersey)

A Story by Abishai100

A trio of criminal 'Strangers' consider an examination of Sturbridge (suburbia) area social-media/lore for an antisocial direction!

A treatise on the quality of modern crime-reporting/lore, inspired by the very unusual neo-noir town-murder film The Strangers (Liv Tyler). Enjoy,

The Satan family moved from Thailand to Sturbridge Woods in South Jersey (United States) and settled into their very nice suburban home, with very sophisticated alarm-systems and prepared for their new American life after leaving Bangkok. The family, composed of a young mom (Elana) and her two young babes/children (Tan/Julie), found their new Sturbridge-area home quite nice and furnished with nice things and a nice Samsung-HD television with Blu-ray player, all the nice 'things' of modern commerce/capitalism life.

ELANA: This is the new life we've dreamed after my painful divorce (Bangkok) and hope to share my home/life photos with other Asian-American immigrants on social-media in the United States now!

ELANA: Well, it's Saturday-Eve and I'm home alone with my kids, and the kids are fast-asleep, so I'm taking in a Netflix-download of the cool copland drama-emotion gripping Hollywood film Blue Steel (Jamie Lee Curtis).

Well, this isn't a normal tale, and it's quite dark. That season of immigration for the Satan family (Elana/Tan/Julie) was coinciding with a passing trio of very dark and masked Halloween-time folks calling themselves the Strangers. This trio (Amlan/Raka/Tina) were eating at an iconic South Jersey diner, enjoying key-lime pie, before targeting some area suburbia-home/residence, and they'd choose the Satan house (Sturbridge) after their diner examination (wow).

AMLAN: This key-lime pie is arguably the best of its kind in all of the East Coast.

RAKA: No doubts; this is the perfect app for our suburbia-terror blueprint.

TINA: Isn't it 'funny' how we choreograph bloody-murder with Homeland securities (hmm)?

The Strangers drove around till about midnight when they came upon Elana Satan's house in Sturbridge and saw her family-room and TV-light on and wielded their hand-crafted wooden crossbows with deadly-sharp tipped arrows, preparing for a family murder/massacre with a social-media message note reading something like, "Another affluent Homeland (American) family robbed of home-jewelry and no longer 'swamped' by the capitalist race angst of insurance-obsession."

Sure, this was to be another 'typical' murder-with-message by a trio of average/standard American human race psychos with a message of cliched angst or antisocial quality with 'rebel' veil, but when these Strangers saw that Elana Satan was a charming immigrant mom from Bangkok with two very adorable young children (Tan/Julie), they realized they'd have to concoct some differing/inventive 'potion' for crime and social-media message worth more its weight/density for social-media/cinema caliber town gossip (hmm).

INVESTIGATOR: The Satans (Elana/Tan/Julie) were tied up and bled to death?

REPORTER: Yes, sir; according to the first-accounts of residents, Elana/Tan/Julie were tied to a sofa by the Strangers and their wrists cut (very gently) and allowed to bleed slowly and somewhat comfortably to death after being given an anesthesia injection (wow).

INVESTIGATOR: You think this 'cemetery-lore' will generate some bad Jersey-DNA for this town/area?

REPORTER: This sort of social-media gossip would precede any density in Homeland securities concerning the detective of modern crime-depression.

INVESTIGATOR: Wow (thanks).
