An adaptation of an iconic consumerism-era (Big-'80s) film featuring a 'tale of capitalism's reaction' (for hand-folding!).

A fun summer-eve fanfiction/adaptation of the iconic Big-'80s film Mannequin (Michael Gottlieb), which I think you'll like (and thanks for reading!),

Amlan Satan was making Wednesday trips to the local Philly-mall and discovered a very gorgeous shopping-window mall mannequin and decided to name her 'Ezzy' and became fascinated and began to write diary-notes about her as if she was an 'Aphrodite' who'd come to life and share with him some of the 'ghost-magic' of modern American life/consumerism and shared this idea with others on social-media in the City of Brotherly Love (USA).



He decided this mall-mannequin ('Ezzy') was the idealized image or visage of capitalism-race handshakes and went every Wednesday to whisper his ideas about modern American life optimism to her, after he'd finish his weekly walk through the mall's walkways for an 'examination' of the quality of modern Homeland consumerism (for his great American novel about Western culture/hubris).



EZZY: I can hear you (now), Satan.
SATAN (Amlan): What?
EZZY: Yeah...I'm alive...you 'moved' me to think alive and whisper back.
SATAN (Amlan): What?
EZZY: Do you love me, prince?
SATAN (Amlan): What?
EZZY: I might become your special 'faerie' of capitalism-life (now).
SATAN (Amlan): What?
EZZY: What do you say, Prince Satan?
SATAN (Amlan): Jesus...I suppose I'm 'moved' to tears/insanity (ok).
EZZY: Good...keep this secret; and don't share photos of other dolls.
SATAN: Excellence!



The Prince of the Homeland, preparing his great American novel about capitalism-culture, was now in a 'Rapture' with his mall-mannequin ('Ezzy') and discovered a strange 'ghost-magic' tied with the Homeland handshakes of commerce-life/traffic superstitions (for all!). He decided to get a special Mannequin (Kim Cattrall) film-poster and began writing a new novel concept...about a 'faerie-doll' representing commerce-consciousness...and come-to-life (for him!).



However, darkness and mystery loomed, as Prince Satan was 'tied' with a dangerous and evil man involved in the diamond-store inside the iconic Philly-mall named Damian who insisted that he share with him all the toys/figurines Amlan noted for his novel when he'd visit on Wednesdays, hoping to 'extract' from him a special 'insider' superstition-secret he'd divulge to the world (outside!) and get paid for the pre-novel secret held in the writer's heart (wow).



DAMIAN: You've discovered a 'ghost-magic' mall-mannequin, you say?
SATAN: Yeah...but I get this 'funny political-cartoon' feeling you're a calculator.
DAMIAN: I simply want to be your 'witness' for your novel-concept, man.
SATAN: Yeah...let's just say this 'magic' doll I've discovered is all American.
DAMIAN: That's what we need, Mr. Satan...'American' cartoon-writing!
SATAN: Yeah, right...maybe this doll-concept will yield cool social-media pokes.
DAMIAN: Alright (good hands, Amlan).



Amlan kept whispering to Ezzy every Wednesday, as he visited his 'ghost-magic' faerie-muse of his capitalism-culture writing concept for his novel examination in the Homeland (for all!). However, he'd warned her about this stranger-fellow (Damian) who worked at the gem-store inside the iconic Philly-mall, and she whispered to him, "Prepare for me a tasty egg-curry dish at home and invite Damian over and tell him that I inspired you to cook it...and then tell him that's the 'whole' magical inspiration ingredient for your novel...and (then) I'll be (perfectly) secure, Prince Satan."



That's just what the writer did, and Damian was told this 'revelation' about egg-curry ghost-magic inspiration at the dinner he invited the gem-merchant over his house for and then made outlines for the 'adapted' secret-trick ('whispered' to him by 'Ezzy') and prepared his notes for why a magical mall-mannequin (like Ezzy!) need-only to offer some 'quiet-man' hospitality energizer-activity in the kitchen to 'cast' her as a Philly-mall 'faerie' for a capitalism-culture visage comprising the quality of modern Homeland 'intelligence' (for the Ego). This became a rather 'pronounced' fable of American religion (for all).



EZZY: I told you not to get another/rival doll, Amlan Satan.
SATAN (Amlan): It's just a 'cute' Penn-State cheerleader doll, Ezzy!
EZZY: You did the right-trick to 'shoo-away' this gem-merchant (Damian).
SATAN (Amlan): Not without your advice/assistance, Ezzy (ha).
EZZY: Well, perhaps this 'college-sports cheerleader' is all reading.
SATAN (Amlan): Perhaps (you're right!).
EZZY: I shall miss you...and our 'ghost' time of whispers/Romanticism.
SATAN (Amlan): I'm 'certain' I'll win the Pulitzer (now), Ezzy my heart.
EZZY: Excellence!
