Mannequin: Height(s)

Mannequin: Height(s)

A Story by Abishai100
"

Did sportsmanship/capitalism beautify a 'faerie-tale' for a Homeland/Western image for men (to perfect society)?

"
A cool adaptation of Mannequin (Michael Gottlieb), which I think you'll like (and thanks for reading),

Amlan Satan was a blood-diamond thief working as a self-proclaimed 'vigilante' in the Homeland (America) of insurance-chess and was shocked when he thought he was being spoken to by a mall-mannequin who was whispering messages to him about capitalism-race heroics for a special materialism image 'deed' for fortune-readings (hmm).



MANNEQUIN: You should give me an alias/nickname, prince.
SATAN: Is this a social-media commentary 'delusion' (for me)?
MANNEQUIN: Are you familiar/friendly with the myth of Galatea?
SATAN: Sure; the ancient-myth 'artist' who became hypnotized!
MANNEQUIN: With his figurine-statue, for fortune-reading(s).
SATAN: Are you my Galatea for social-media commentary, doll?
MANNEQUIN: I need a 'private' nickname (for cyber-populations).



He gave his mall-mannequin 'Galatea' a special alias, Esmerelda, named after the Hugo-avatar of yearning(s), and he continued his special treasure-insurance' Crusade' in the post-9/11 era Homeland (America) for gem-motions 'chess' and swapped 'rumored' blood-diamonds with glass-beads and cultivated his reflective cyber-stories about why/how his mall-mannequin (Esmerelda) moved him to make hero-tales of 'divine'' materialism (for the Ego).



ESMERELDA: Will you take me home and make me home-meals?
SATAN: Certainly; you've become my hospitality-faerie for capitalism!
ESMERELDA: I love luchi-bread (Indian cuisine), Amlan Satan.
SATAN: I've become your 'buddy' for diner-table bards.
ESMERELDA: Perhaps we'll toast this 'deed' with capitalism's Ego.



Amlan fell in love with his mall-Galatea, his mannequin whom he named Esmerelda, after the Hugo novel 'avatar' of great Romanticism/Utopianism, and decided to cheer this doll-deity with a special comics-doodle of vigilantism-proportions (on the cyber-highway) as a reflection of what made capitalism-vigilantism a youth-doodle for what'd become a Western 'reading' for (all) matter (ha).



SATAN: I'll complement this vigilante-fable with a sports-image!
ESMERELDA: A Sabatini (Argentina) pro-women's tennis memoir?
SATAN: A 20th-Century 'image' of competition-education/class.
ESMERELDA: She 'challenged' the indomitable Graf in New York?
SATAN: Right-o; a 1988/1990 US-Open Finals 'shine' for cheer(s).
ESMERELDA: Perhaps I've become your 'doll' for materialism.
SATAN: You have; this athletics-trophy is (purely) myth.
ESMERELDA: Well...this is the 'prologue' for a patriot marketing.
SATAN: No doubt(s).
