Return: Echelon {Ruler}

Amlan Satan returns for his Eastern-Echelon (hometown) high-school reunion and seeks to balance his 'double-life' with a romance/reunion 'word' for himself (and others).

An 'extra credit' adaptation of one of my fave fanfiction-film 'subjects' and most likely my final piece Grosse Pointe Blank (John Cusack). Thanks for reading!

AMLAN SATAN (Diary): Retiring from diamond-intelligence work abroad for a hometown/school reunion for a 'drawing' of Selfies/photos and commentary that just might find this 'nerdist' of capitalism-defense chess seeking a simple 'face' time cognition for Homeland highness (for myself!).

Working in the labyrinth inspiring that stranger form for 'James Bond' intuition requires much humility and calm for evasion of that 'mercenary' critique for modern Earth balances for intelligence/execution, and Mr. Satan (Amlan) would want this Echelon-hometown school-reunion visit to be that perfect 'stretch' for a Homeland expression concerning retirement/romance, but he was perhaps (now) being 'stalked' by a face from the past (not a friend).

MRS. MANARAS: Wow, Amlan, so good to see you're back...for English?
SATAN: You're the best literature-teacher (ever); I miss those library visits (newly-renovated!).
MRS. MANARAS: Still a fan of Edith Wharton and Dreiser, you American prince of word (ha)?
SATAN: Still have that English medallion I earned from your class; maybe I'll become a writer.
MRS. MANARAS: Have you visited your 'old' sweetheart (Esmerelda)?
SATAN: It's on the docket; I'm staying at the Springhill; I'm making a jaunt to the library for read.
MRS. MANARAS: Well, you might appreciate another 'refresher' for Age of Innocence (no?).
SATAN: Sure, sure; I'm thinking of settling-down; tough work (abroad); seeking normality (sure).
MRS. MANARAS: Cool; well...hope you're psyched for that reunion examination, Mr. Satan!
SATAN: I am (indeed), Mrs. Manara; great to see you (again).
MRS. MANARAS: Stay good.
SATAN: Of course.

AMLAN SATAN (Diary): Looking at pics (uploaded) of high-school prom events by other schools around the Homeland gives me that stranger 'watery' feeling that my memoirs of time in school, reading and competing and playing and 'dreaming' (too) may draw in me a special 'confidence' as I breach that 'gap' created between me/Esmerelda; there's something simple/rhyme about high-school brains.

Well, sounds like a good-old story of 'James Bond' retiring, but a bad-evildoer followed him home, certain he'd make a 'fatal' error by seeking a new 'retirement-account' in Echelon (Homeland) and sought to 'veil' himself as a school-reunion 'guest' that time of memory/romance, and Amlan Satan would have to 'detect' and then 'escort' this bad-gentleman to the school-basement furnace room to dispose of any 'racy' ashes (for reading).

AMLAN SATAN (Diary): Looking back at my school-yearbook gives me that certain 'chess' consciousness of the composition of my persona and attitude for American expression of pure happiness (or complication!), and I wonder (now) if school-time is merely a mind-space for all that's simple a 'capitalist' view for the nature of civilization's unique rush (ha).

ESMERELDA: I haven't seen you forever, Satan.

AMLAN: I know (that), Ezzy.

ESMERELDA: Well, I'm going to the reunion; I work in mom's bakery (now), Amlan.

AMLAN: I know that (too), Ezzy!

ESMERELDA: What...are you retiring and seeking settlement?

AMLAN: Marriage...with you (sure).

ESMERELDA: Let's 'measure' that reunion-escort 'quotient' first; and explain retirement vision.

AMLAN: I wanna write, a great American novel; live-off fortunes acquired; buy a house (for you!).

ESMERELDA: I wonder what my Facebook-girlfriend(s) will make of (all) this, Satan.

AMLAN: Tell them (you know)...memory conquers waste.

He did buy that house, and he did 'execute' that plan of a hero-deed at the reunion 'event' where that evil-darkman appeared and was appropriately 'detected' by Mr. Satan and then disposed/ashed and reconciled (fully) with 'Ezzy' and married and had a son (Damian) for whom he was now studying college-ratings/heat (on social media).

EZZY: Princeton.

AMLAN: Why not?
EZZY: Damian might like it (maybe).

AMLAN: Why not?
EZZY: You're such a 'radish' (now), Amlan.

AMLAN: Life's a rose...and then you rise (wow).

DAMIAN: Wow, an evil-elf for Christmas, dad?
SATAN (Amlan): Excellence; a cartoon-draw for reminder of what makes the present heavens (for all).
