Cyan: City of Hours

A Story by Abishai100

A portrait of neo-vigilantism, championed by a masked 'rider' (Cyan) who seeks a Homeland 'examination' for a religious highness.

A Sunday adaptation of the iconic and film-adapted comics-series of the Crow (James O'Barr), which I think you'll like (and thanks so much for reading),

DISCLAIMER: The images used in this work of fanfiction offer no commercial/formal ties to the original comics-series of inspiration and therefore comprise a purely 'personal' work of social creativity (for 'open' reviews).

Cyan finished his studies in cognitive psychology (Dartmouth) and began work in investments in Wall Street with inherited money in a modern dark city of great piracy and crime problems, deviating from his examinations of the human mind and applying his understandings of the consciousness of mankind to the fruits of capitalism-race activity, perhaps drawing interest from social-media users commenting on the quality of new era American handshakes (hmm).

CYAN: This is a dark city, this Homeland (of ours), but I need to do more, I feel the urge to 'be' more in this dark city, and I think I need to challenge this blood-diamond smuggling baron of piracy in this dark city, Judas, with a calculating vigilante-action series of set behaviors for a social-media 'friendly' message of what will restore America to the great state of handshakes.

Where would Cyan (our vigilante) find the bird-like inspiration to create a vigilante-profile in his Homeland's dark city of 'troubles' and piracy and underworld evils, mastered by the insidious brainiac known as Judas? Well, while on-course for this vigilance-campaign in America, the ingenious Cyan had encountered a 'lady-hawk' vision of Romanticism, the bus-driver Esmerelda, who was tired of 'dreaming' only that her young school-student passengers would simply grow to become part of the 'legion' of Judas, hoping to (instead) comment on social media that Cyan the unknown soldier of the Homeland would find interest among other 'veiled' Catholics/do-gooders of the still-enduring United States (wow).

CRIME_REPORT (Cyber): "More news floods in concerning bloody murders and police-deaths and victims of the tides of blood-diamond traffic in this Homeland's 'darkened city' of exploits, and where's Cyan in all this action-Hellfire while (apparently) Judas' reign continues to be one of journal-hyperbole?"

Cyan put on his mask, revamped a purchased 'cool' mod-truck (fitted with weaponry and armor and oil-slick device), and hit the streets after midnight, prowling around what seemed (simply) to be just another 'corrupted/bribed' official's police-vehicle, but would this street-monitor activity draw social-media 'friendly' interest from commentators about the quality of Homeland handshakes (hmm)?

CYAN: "This is a time of engagements and examinations, and it requires administration of the 'Christian-ethos' of hearted focus on values/norms, if but to draw out this adversarial Judas as a man of subversion and to (therefore) lift the spirits of the wandering pedestrians of this potentially 'great' Homeland and inspire more commentary about (perhaps/arguably) why my truck-of-heaven is a 'force' for changes (ha)."

JUDAS: I hear of this raven-bird of vigilante-idealism, this 'Cyan' man of my city (alone) has been wielding a very 'cool' toy water-rifle, inserted with tubes and filled with (hot) acid to aim fire out his truck-window to take down my roaming soldiers of fortune, but I can't fear the work of 'daredevils' whilst I (earnestly) have outlined my 5-point-plan to merge with the diamond-investors in all of this bloody continent to create a capitalism ring of sciences...and hence no 'water-gun' or 'toy' will cast me as a 'victim' of Homeland handshakes (for comics).

ESMERELDA: You made this 'doodle' for me, did you, Mr. Cyan?
CYAN: You know I love you...it's a simple/sweet comics-rendering of vigilantism!

ESMERELDA: It's sweet...but is it a re-presentation of our (own) desperation?
CYAN: What else...might it not inspire some 'cool' commentary about youth?
ESMERELDA: Alright.

Cyan's campaign was a flowering success for the Homeland handshakes in super-visions for crime-examination. In fact, Cyan was likened (by his 'fans') on social-media to a 'black-bird' of risk-consciousness and chess-like acumen (or high art!). Cyan had managed to take-down Judas' reign of blood-diamond intelligence and secured banks and the municipality with a calculating substitution of gems with toys, if but to inspire commentary about why this Homeland (of ours!) is a 'den' for handhelds...not thieves (ha).

JUDAS: Lost in the game of chess, to a Bobby-Fischer of comic-books (damn).

ASSOCIATE: Might we challenge this (retired) Cyan to a public showcase (chess)?
JUDAS: No, we retreat; this Homeland's handshaking for a Cyan-storyboard (now).

ASSOCIATE: We'll always have the veil of infamy-hubris, Judas (my lord).

JUDAS: Yes...perhaps for an 'image' of 'American' hemoglobin.
