Wolfen: Forest of Bread

A Story by Abishai100

A city-bureaucrat retreats to a forest-treehouse with his copy of Thoreau and may encounter a 'specter' requiring a work-of-myth with his secretary.

An Earth-naturalism 'meditation' vignette, loosely inspired by Pathfinder.

AMLAN SATAN: I've been versed in economics and Wall-St. (Ford) and Adam Smith and feel this newfound 'instinct' to seek a wolfen-IQ in the forest, a retreat from materialism and back into naturalism for an 'examination' of the quality of civilization social-media culture magic/sanity, and I maybe can find intelligentsia 'commentary' for this exercise in capitalism-race readings (for networks!).

Amlan Satan, our protagonist 'deep-thinker' seeking some kind of anti-bureaucratic 'retreat' into the woods for a reading of naturalism to complement his return-storywriting about civilization 'logic' and happiness, carried with him his copy of Walden (Thoreau) and had a special treehouse designed/built for this year-long exercise of contemplation, convinced he'd used his fortune(s) for a true-distance for capitalism-race intelligence. Wow, Thoreau would've been proud of this, surely, and it would/could make for social-media photo-graphics/shares (too).

MR. SATAN: "I'm geared and prepared emotionally/physically and have even gone to these 'emotional' and psychic-lengths to cast myself as a sort of forest-creature of thought, casting/reinventing myself as a 'prowling' thinker of the woods, armed with lights/shields and thinking of myself as a 'real' materialism-reading 'god' of Earth-marks."

He'd already created some 'nifty' capitalism-race chess-reflective 'stalemate-sportsmanship' diagrams symbolizing competition-culture and windows-access 'marketing' for net-activity shares/chats for ambition conversations and our 'trophy' society of achievements/fortunes and hoped this 'chess-brain' would catalyze great matter for his naturalism 'examination' of (all) things...bread.

SECRETARY: I await your return, Satan, for our continued Timberwolves-storyboard about local/Homeland fanfare/commentary for media-culture energizers (for that special 'education' initiative tied with our social-media 'fanzine' company-satellite!).

AMLAN: "With Walden in my pocket and naturalism as my guide for deep-thought, I consider this intelligent contemplation of the quality of civilization imagery a key feature of my personal psyche-development(s) for the 'art' of Earth-imagery and civilization balances (for the Ego); and perhaps I might encounter an inspiration for this inquiry about the 'nature' of manmade beauty."

Mr. Amlan Satan saw a revelation of wonders/immortality in that treehouse examination in that darkened forest of the 'good' Earth. While reading Walden one Saturday's dawn, he was shocked/horrified by the approach of what was (undoubtedly) a mecha-robot werewolf (wow). Who'd invent such a creature of Hell? Amlan grabbed his chemistry-kit and put together some HCL to load into his water-rifle and aimed it prepared to see what this 'mecha-wolfen' specter of lycanthropy-mutation(s) wanted with him and why it skulked towards his beloved treehouse of naturalism-studies.

SATAN: What do you want here, robotic creature of hellmouths?
ROBO-WOLF: I'm sent on a Crusade to find a human like yourself.
SATAN: My name's Amlan Satan, and I'm here on my own accord for study!
ROBO-WOLF: You have a copy of Walden in your hand (I can see!).
SATAN: Who programmed you; who's controlling your voice-commands?
ROBO-WOLF: I've been sent to this forest by my inventor-creator for IQ.
SATAN: Is your 'master' masked/anonymous, Robo-Wolf?
ROBO-WOLF: Correct, Mr. Satan; he speaks through my prompt-brain.
SATAN: Good...but I fail to understand your inquiry/image (here/now)!
ROBO-WOLF: I'm examining the 'logic' of your endeavor(s), Mr. Satan.
SATAN: Do you mean to 'deconstruct' my idealism/purpose of forest-life?
ROBO-WOLF: I mean to 'decode' your confidence-in-motion for defense.
SATAN: I defend my treehouse-study as a study of capitalism-race sanity.
ROBO-WOLF: You're (simply) a 'naturalist' idealist with a study-for-gods?
SATAN: I'm defending my 'claim' here that I'm a free-thinking private-man.

ROBO-WOLF: Good; I shall 'pardon' your residence and not destroy it!
SATAN: Right; but I must answer some question/riddle (for your master)?
ROBO-WOLF: Correct, Mr. Satan (good guess).
SATAN: What's the riddle, Robo-Wolf?

ROBO-WOLF: What's the 'quality' of equivalence(s)...for fortune-escape?
SATAN: Your master can affirm my 'claim' here is of (pure) shining.

ROBO-WOLF: Fine!

SATAN: I'll post this 'encounter' as a translated 'faerie-tale' on the Internet.

ROBO-WOLF: Fine (thanx)...and good fortune(s) to you (alone), fellow.

When Amlan Satan returned to civilization, he adapted the encounter with this invented 'specter' (RoboWolf) for a special superstitions-tale about capitalism-race 'sanity' for escapism/deconstruction, perhaps (secretly) to honor the mecha-wolf's creator/inventor and not 'anger' the proverbial gods-of-challenge and meanwhile shared this story with his only confidante, his city-company secretary (Shelbye) who rewarded the brain-gesture(s) with a 'cool' plate of world-rich (Indian) luchi-bread for a thanksgiving-brunch comfort (wow).

SHELBYE: I got you this infiltrations-art comics to spice your wolfen-tale.

SATAN: Very cool, darling; perhaps there's a 'spirit' for invention(s).

SHELBYE: Do you doubt that mecha-wolf's inventor was some maniac?

SATAN: I think he meant to present himself as the Devil's Advocate!

SHELBYE: Your/our response (then) is one of proportioned mythology.

SATAN: Cool (good for modern social media).

Back in the world, Satan/Shelbye cheered this trophy-inquiry concerning the logic of advocates/incendiaries of civilization-sanity and contemplated the identity of that mecha-wolf's inventor while taking-in a local city-sports event during which Shelbye took social-media mosaic-friendly 'cheer' collage-photos for their joint-presentation about that high-mind 'education' of the composition of capitalism-race readings...of materialism, metaphysics, monstrosity, megatrends, machinery, money, marks, myth, mad-science, mankind, and of course (certainly) mortality.
