Nevada's Bishop Ruins

An ex-cop goes on a chess-wave to 'curate' a blood-diamond baron of Nevada and engages with historic brains alongside his darling-passenger (Ezzy).

A fun adaptation of the cool remake of that unforgettable graphic Peckinpah 'classic' about inventions in Western/American road-and-landscape wish-craft, The Getaway (Roger Donaldson). Thanks for reading,

AMLAN SATAN: I've had it with policework in Nevada, and I'm after a blood-diamond 'baron' for a special chess-stalemate challenge with a 'bishop's maneuver' for post-9/11 era treasure-insurance 'revelation' (for material!).

Amlan had become something of an inventive 'angel' of self-wrought vigilance/justice but abandoned his Nevada-role as a praying cop who'd been affronted/jaded by the quality of Western/American 'inventions' in darkness/crime/insanity and persuaded (effectively) his darling-wife (Ezzy) to become his car-riding 'sidekick' on this quest for gem-insurance securities that would (maybe) draw interest in social-media traffic-consumerism (for immigration-rhetoric!).

EZZY: This is our 'getaway-batmobile' for this Nevada misadventure, eh?
SATAN: This is ideal, Ezzy; a black shining Volvo for a state-trip for Crusade!

EZZY: Your ideology makes me chuckle (sometimes), my sweet prince.

SATAN: Alright; but this will (certainly) enhance our views for auto-focus (right?).

The two entered a bank in Nevada in masks and swapped the gems stored there (insured!) by Baron Ion, their marked-man, with glass-beads and made a social-media comment about securities heat in Homeland work/capitalism and perhaps drew the ire of the photojournalism-navigating Ion himself (wow).

ION: I'm sending my evil woodsman of Hell to get these two masked heroes.

ASSOCIATE: The sinister Fred, eh?

ION: That's right; Fred's this magazine-culture cure for pedestrian ad-design (ha).

That he was, purely evil, the sinister Fred, whom Ion sent to 'catch' Amlan/Ezzy as they rode towards his estate in Nevada. Fred managed to nab them at a Courtyard (motel) but was shot by Amlan (silencer) and crawled to a nearby vet-office where he bloody-murdered the head-vet and kidnapped his wife (Shelbye).

SHELBYE: I thought I'd be posting photos/tales of vet-heroics on social media (Nevada).

Shelbye went from a 'cool' vet-assistant of Nevada into a hellraiser's 'sidekick' for misadventure as the two nasty folks (Shelbye now converted!) tracked the two Romanticism heroes of vigilantism (Amlan/Ezzy); Shelbye remained convinced (now) that the image of American storytelling she'd been 'wed' to (now) was (simply) photo-reading (hmm).

ION: You made it!

AMLAN: You thought that 'duo' of Shelbye/Fred would stop us, Ion?
EZZY: We're here to showcase our gem-watch for ya, Baron.

ION: What if I told you Shelbye's martyr-status affirms Ezzy's bad-value?

AMLAN: Don't be curt/clever, Ion; trade our watch for some of your gems.

ION: Why/what?
EZZY: We'll make you 'famous'...we'll make 'claim' for gem-insurance customs.

ION: Oh, I get it; the 'ominous baron is swept by a merchant-daydream for materialism.'

AMLAN: You can't lose (it's a wage); it's for maximum-romanticism.

ION: Alright.

Ion accepted the 'wage' posed by Satan/Ezzy and posted on media about the insurance veils 'salesmanship' inferred by this 'roadside treasure-trade' for securities commentary and meanwhile drew some suspicion-eyes from Interpol-relations; meanwhile, Amlan/Ezzy rode-off with a chunk of the bad baron's blood-diamonds for a commissions-exchange and 'deed' congrats for what they extracted inside his 'estate-of-myth' (Nevada).

AMLAN SATAN: The 'miracle' of this performance was one of exchange-history.

With Ion's Nevada 'mystique' somewhat now calmed, Amlan and Ezzy rode off into the sunset (in their black shining Volvo) as capitalism-race 'messengers' of the drama/lore surrounding fortune-readings for this new age of 'inventions' in simplified traffic/commerce/media materialism (for the Ego).

EZZY: We should've sedated the baron with absinthe inside that evil lair.

SATAN: True; but fencing-out Shelbye/Fred (certainly) proved sufficiency-for-justice.

EZZY: Maybe this was (all) 'drink' for a watch, Amlan.

SATAN: (Maybe) you're right!

CYBER_FANZINE (Nevada): "Well, perhaps the gem-insurance high-art(s) of this state-of-troubles/woe for confidence invokes that 'mall-mannequin' image of all that'd become a capitalism-race sedative (fancy 'friction' administration?)."

"Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone" (John Maynard Keynes).
