American Psycho

A Story by Abishai100

A portrait of the 'contouring' of the human mind, presented through the 'examination' of a city-bureaucrat who's got all the 'shape' of a modern materialist-radical.

An mod-society 'psychosis' vignette loosely inspired by American Psycho (Mary Harron). Enjoy (and Happy 9/11),

Amlan Satan worked inside that NY business office for about 2 years after finishing his studies (economics/psychology) at the city's respected University, and now he contemplated the careful-life of tedious and diligent work-life day hours preceding usual night-time visits to bars/clubs for 'cliched' mingling with pedestrian/cultural traffic, mostly with people in his age bracket of the Homeland and began to think about if he'd ever disclose (on social media!) his 'hypothetical double-life' as a flesh-eating criminal (bloody-murderer) to at least make a fictionalized 'presentation' to see face-reactions online (e.g., Facebook!).

He liked his work and was generally an 'upbeat' Bartleby of NYC, and he considered his office tasteful, nicely-colored, well-managed, dashing with lively/smart personnel, many Ivy-educated in America, and appealing for its male/female ratio of employees, and many were attractive women. In the first 2 years of working at this 'Pierce-co.' NY-office, he must've 'assassinated' over 15 women and then fried them up for pasta-sauce philosophy. Was this the vision the University-masters/professors had for its star-pupil (economics/psychology) as they (now) perused his cyber-photo mosaics of office-life storyboards in the Homeland?

MR. SATAN: "All you need is the right acid-burn 'character' for the right-temporal displacement/disposal of unnecessary philosophical needling parts of the male/female body for your preparations in culinary rhetoric for an anarchist-cookbook and you're on your way to composing the 'ideal' American-Psycho novelization of what's become a Western 'expression' of conveniences-narcissism."

GIRLFRIEND: Why're we at this graphic rescreening, Amlan my love?
SATAN: After viewing this excellence in criminal-insanity for lore, we'll make love/war.

GIRLFRIEND: War?
SATAN: Yes, Ezzy...you shall become my Bride-of-Frankenstein for a chess-video!

GIRLFRIEND: Sounds neat...what's this story concerning (now), Prince Satan?
SATAN: Why, the right-turns and U-turns of werewolves for city-scapes of Hell, dear.

GIRLFRIEND: You're sounding way-too philosophical (now), Amlan Satan.

SATAN: Forgive me...it's this city (NY) that drives-home that 'image' of imperfection.

GIRLFRIEND: We shouldn't have chosen graphic-entertainment for psyche-chess!

SATAN: Maybe...you're right (ha).

MR. SATAN: "Someone asked me why I'd become a fan of the pricey fineries of American college-media windows culture sportsmanship/competition-education, and as a philosopher of the economic brain, I had to explain there's something about the 'deviance' and 'social-control' of Western basketball/football/lacrosse that drives home that unusual/eschewed imagery concerning the Realism behind capitalism-race bread superstitions (for the Ego)."
