NewsMan

Portrait of Homeland heroics/journalism and the 'right-stuff' for modern Philly-optimism and rhetoric, involving a 'news-man' of great hand.

A Philly-fable inspired (loosely) by Hero (Stephen Frears).

I'd been a 'news-man' in the City of Brotherly Love after graduating college (Penn-campus) and decided to invest in a social-media culture 'street' examination of the trends of superstitions in the fair urban 'town' of great pluralism traffic and cyber-commentary and 'personality' in capitalism-race handshakes (hmm).

I'd been a fan of various sports-media/market treasures and teams since I was a little-boy, having moved to the American Homeland from Algiers with my mom and then studying very hard to get to college where I'd study cognitive-science and communications before adopting a special Philly-patriotism spirit/image for 'news-man' consciousness and 'chess' regarding urban town defenses against the modern civilization threats to commerce-life posed by that 'nasty' dark evil of undeniable 'American' heaviness (e.g., bloody-murder, piracy, political corruption, organized crime/insanity). You see, I'm a 'news-man' of Philadelphia's hearing.

I work at a news-stand (Philadelphia). I used to be a paper-boy (Voorhees/NJ) when I was a young boy, delivering the local paper (The Post) to two senior-citizens residency buildings with the help of my dad who'd drive me there and help me transport that heavy pack of newspapers. I developed an 'uncanny' sense of street/traffic intuitions journalism and civilizations-psychology. Now, as a Philly-newsstand 'dude' of patriotism and journalism integrity, I'm after a 'big-tale' for the City of Brotherly Love (and I might find it here!).

I still live with my mom (Nina), in Philly, in a quaint residential area of the fair city of Independence Hall and Rocky and the 76ers, and I enjoy collecting model-trains and baseball-cards and write tales of heroics/deeds for Homeland IQ on my laptop (wow).

Well, I found that tall tale of the City of Brotherly Love, in the form of a sewer-dwelling 'man' mutated by chemical-pollution as a homeless person/vagrant and transformed into a 'force' for Hell. I call this guy Killer-Croc, and I'm the only one who knows he exists and is responsible for the recent killings of Philadelphia policemen/women. I'm on Croc's trail for my superstition-tale (online) about what make Philly great --- the storyteller (ha).

CROC: So, you're that 'news-man' I read about on my (stolen) smartphone (Philly).

ME: Indeed, Killer; in fact, I intend to re-present you as the AntiChrist in my cyber-tale of heroes.

CROC: Cool...but I'm no flipper of fluke-deeds, news-man of Philadelphia.

ME: You 'doubt' that credo of city-management for the valor of traffic-defenses, don't you, Croc?

CROC: Maybe; maybe I just need a good access to a cool movie about Homeland sanity (no?).

ME: Maybe that's true...or maybe you just wish to be cast (by a writer!) as a Frankenstein of pity.

CROC: You have that magic, news-man of Philadelphia?

ME: Maybe...and maybe I'll get you that 'movie-access' for a right-movie (City Hall) on your phone.

CROC: I'll 'exile' myself...if you do (news-man).

ME: That's a 'hand' deal, Killer (thanks, for everything).

CROC: Thanks.

That's my story, folks. I revealed a great miracle for the City of Brotherly Love with my 'deed' involving Killer-Croc's personal self-exile, all with the 'gift' of gab and the power of newsies, as the 'news-man of Philadelphia' (as he so 'handedly' put it for me). Now, I'm an even bigger fan of The Inquirer (ha).

CROC: I bet that 'news-man' had bought himself a cool gold-train (toy) for Oscars-night prayers!

ME: I bet the Killer is (now) dwelling/hibernating as a sewer-hidden 'exile' of Earth (thanks to life).

ME: Maybe I'll get myself a cool gold-train (toy) for Oscars-night prayers (of Philly's hue).

GIRLFRIEND: You're such a dashing prince of heroics, for this city of 'troubles' (and Hell), sweets.

ME: I know that now; in fact, I'm getting a Selfie-tale made (online) about 'wrought' hearing.

GIRLFRIEND: Thanks (alright).
