Catch the Duke*

An eccentric escapes a psychiatric-center (Vancouver) and performs a cyber-blogging 'escapade' of thievery/critique, casting himself (perhaps) as a modern 'sports-imaged' hare.

A fun pre-summer adaptation of Catch Me If You Can (Leo DiCaprio).

DISCLAIMER: This work of fanfiction/adaptation offers no commercial/formal ties to the referenced Spielberg/DiCaprio film and all non-associative images/references (e.g., Duke, Vancouver) used herein comprise a purely 'personal' work of social creativity (for 'open' definitions).

Amlan Satan had nicely escaped from a psychiatric center in North America and used some short-hand odd-job gas-station money en-route to Virginia (America) to purchase a cool Duke basketball t-shirt which he donned for social-media photos/posts about his Selfie as re-presentation of commerce-life 'chess' and sought to create a fantastic cross-country 'thief' adventure, perhaps drawing cyber-commentary (e.g., Facebook) about Duke-fanfare magic/coincidence/humors.

Amlan Satan hit about 20 states on his cross-country trip on bus/rental-car and stopped at various banks in major cities along the way rumored to be holding diamonds smuggled by corrupt 'underground' barons mired in rogue war-zone finances-woe examined by modern Interpol-relation and sought to cast his adventures in cyber-tales (anonymous), inspired by his psychiatric-center readings of Thief of Thieves (comics). What'd been his special 'mental-challenge' inspiration for all this Homeland eccentricity/vigilantism?

Perhaps the fact that he'd 'escaped' from Algiers, from a family troubled by modern political 'waves' and fled to North America to pursue a self-made life and the Dream sent him to the insane-asylum in Vancouver where he spent so much time watching TV and reading books and learning about the media-broadcast era 'splendor' in the Western-world surrounding college-athletics fanfare/markets, particularly that created by the amazing United States Duke-UNC rivalry, which created its own social-media 'world' of chat (wow).

He used a toy water-gun filled with acid, inserted in the place thin-glass tube in the shooting-piston inside the toy-gun, which he used to disarm the same guardsman he blackmailed the week prior by visiting his home and instructing him to help him perform the media-heist/theater to swap Baron Ion's 'blood-diamonds' with glass-beads and create a special 'American stage' for gem-insurance corruption hubris.

While in another place on his cross-country journey since escaping from the psychiatric-center, this stranger of the Homeland, still donning his 'Duke-fangear' for social-media image, claimed he'd 'reinvent' the wheel regarding the commerce-life allure/appeal of diamond-capitalism on Earth, perhaps even drawing the 'nature-envy' of a spying Martian (alien!) fascinated by the American 'culture' of net-traffic drawn personality of lifestyle-humors (hmm).

BANK MANAGER: We had some 'link' concerning this one baron's links with gem-insurance journals/work in the modern UK, but we'd no clue the treasure-highways stretched all the way to a North American 'niche' (e.g., Detroit!).

Still, despite all this work after fleeing Algiers and then his psychiatric-center, this self-claimed 'Duke-fangear toting' vigilante of the Western-world (Amlan Satan), this 'Earth-prince' of eccentric action, had decided to offer some capitalism-race 'superstition' tales on the cyber-highway, inspired by his 'misadventures' with diamonds/treasures 'chess' and Duke-TV, and reflecting a social-media 'fascination' with the oddness of modern Homeland hegemony/ritualism (wow).

AMLAN SATAN: "After this adventure concludes, I'll post a cartoon-doodle of a vigilantism-duo online for a special superstition-story about the quality of Western hubris --- imprinted onto my own ('secret') psyche-feeling that this capitalism-race is all about the 'invention' of headiness."

Well, at the cessation of this road-journey of vigilantism-proportion with an almost folkloric quality revealing arguably Satan's own haunting past and troubles with psychiatric-life/care in Vancouver, an FBI-man named Carl, a man who'd tracked this 'prince-of-invention' since his asylum-escape, declared him to be something of a social-media 'Duke-fan-clown' of modern Homeland magic (albeit 'ABCD' magic!).

HOLLYWOOD INSIDER: We're 'seriously' considering spinning this tale into a movie-worthy projection, casting this 'eccentric prince' as something of a modern Evil-Knievel, representative of or comparable to other 'outsider-Icarus' characters in modern media/movies.
