Edgar's Grifter-Track {Arklow Marks}

A Story by Abishai100
"

Edgar is a Homeland 'prince' of the grift and thinks wages for gem-insurance work tied with a special horse for brain matter.

"
A 'cool' capitalism-race tale inspired by The Grifters (John Cusack).

EDGAR: I lived as a pickpocket and a street-poet and then a brain-trust investment analyst (Ivy-League 'circles') and now work with the Grifter-world of gem-insurance 'handshakes' to draw some (real) interest in this social-media culture of 'word' commentary (for all).



Edgar is a 'classic' Grifter of that underworld street-IQ variety despite his Ivy-experience and cool cyber-link/associations with alumni of his 'quaint' social-house (BonesGate) of whose members remain in the dark about his newfound life of gem-insurance chess infiltrations work, but this tale is about his new 'Crusade' to work with a horse-track media-commentary tied with a blood-diamond baron (Goldfinger) that (he hopes) will create a Homeland architecture 'image' for what's real capitalism-race superstition --- that of working 'readings' magic (for the Ego).



GOLDFINGER: You want me to co-invest in this 'upstart' horse (Arklow)?
EDGAR: You can't doubt we'll both come-out in social-media as detectives!
GOLDFINGER: Sounds like a 'method' for acting a capitalism-race angle.
EDGAR: We'll co-post our newfound ('shared') interest in sports-cufflinks.
GOLDFINGER: You want me to talk gem-insurance/hype with Arklow-rod?
EDGAR: My cufflinks are as 'great' as your African-stones, Goldfinger.
GOLDFINGER: Why should I believe in this upstart?
EDGAR: I'm (all) track-magic, bad-baron!
GOLDFINGER: Alright.



Well, our protagonist antihero Grifter 'prince' of the Homeland, Edgar, managed (miraculously) to gain the race-trust investment 'shares' with this bad-guy blood-diamond baron of the Western world (Baron Goldfinger). Now, he's set to post his Selfie at Churchill-Downs, especially after Arklow starts becoming a millionaire-horse (for the Ego).

EDGAR: "Cool, this is like a social media 'fanzine' line for horse-gem interest."



That it was, and Arklow and Edgar/Goldfinger became micro-cyber 'celebrity' caliber investors-with-interest and found social rate on social-media and were (now) known as a Homeland 'track-line' team of diamonds and insurance tied with horse-company/capitalism-race chess, but the 'trick' of this tale is the gifted Edgar-showcased sports-market gems (fakes!) Goldfinger 'trumpeted' with his gem-insurance line on the cyber-world which drew a 'stranger' (Interpol-relation) inquiry at Churchill-Downs that would cast our 'fair' Edgar as a sort of 'word' hero (for all).



INTERVIEW: You dared to 'draw' out the vanity of Goldfinger?
EDGAR: Well, I wanted to see if he'd 'dare' to create insurance-hype casually!
INTERVIEW: He's in all sorts of trouble (now), Edgar (you rascal!).
EDGAR: Cool; I don't know much about it (or anything else), but yeah!
INTERVIEW: How's your capitalist race trophy (Arklow), now?
EDGAR: He's a millionaire...a 'story' for working magic.
INTERVIEW: Romanticist/adventurer/hero?
EDGAR: I've just met a Windy-City waitress; and we're heading for Brussels-sprouts.
INTERVIEW: Good for you, young capitalist; social-media's wind.
EDGAR: It's (possibly) movie-rich (for social media), no?



The downfall of Goldfinger was a 'deed' for Edgar's long adventure-wind concerning horse-trophy interest...and gem-insurance hype in this new Homeland of magazine-culture 'linked' capitalism race vanities, but it's also a 'story' for Grifter-superstition, one indicating why Americans (simply) 'appreciate' that 'cool' material, for treasure's risk (if not celebrity!).
