Mannequin: Wolfen/Deed

A materialism-ruins messaged 'epic' faerie-tale of lycanthropy and heroics in the mod-Homeland (America) invoking the 'purified-image' of ambition's bottle(s).

A 'cool' adaptation for Saturday's Eve of that iconic American metamorphosis-ambition omen-tale Teen Wolf (Michael J. Fox). Thanks for reading (and enjoy),

Amlan Satan had become a respected American teacher and basketball-coach and was fascinated by this mall-mannequin whom he thought was whispering special (private) messages about ambition/control to him, requiring a special sense of self-awareness and intelligence, and he decided to make a series of Selfie-posts online casting himself as a special Halloweentime 'messenger' of fortune-readings.

SATAN: If this mannequin talks, I'm thinking (seriously) about self-happiness.

He was teaching a special AP-school course about those intangible/complicated links between economics and psychology in the post-9//11 era Homeland (American) 'environment' of self-directed traffic-life confidence/heat and how fortune/ambition was gauged by the 'colored' (social media culture oriented) imagery of fear (and profit).

STUDENT: You're saying fortune/capitalism draws a pirate-visage in everyone?

SATAN: Sure; I want you to think of the 'wolfen' psyche tied with America!

STUDENT: Is this Adam Smith bond for fortune-reading a superstition-class?

SATAN: Sure; I want you to think of the 'wolfen' matter(s) of mod-paranoia.

STUDENT: If commerce/capitalism is a life-complication(s), we're (all) heavy!

SATAN: Sure; I want you to think of the 'wolfen' image of American bread.

STUDENT: Wow...seems, Mr. Satan, you're the 'diplomat' of fortune's darkness.

SATAN: I've been talking to a mall-mannequin (about self-improvements).

SCHOOL-TEACHER: Telling your students about mannequin magic is dangerous.

SATAN: I know that, Pamela; I'm thinking more (and more) about self-IQ.

SCHOOL-TEACHER: You alright, Amlan?
SATAN: Unsure; maybe what I need is a new lease/love (after divorce!).

SCHOOL-TEACHER: Should I tell you I'm 'envious' of your mannequin-muse?
SATAN: Nah (good for social media).

What Amlan Satan's mall-mannequin didn't tell him was that he was becoming a werewolf. That's right, friends. You see, when he was a teen, Mr. Satan was bitten by a forest-dog (semi-wolf) while on a school-camping trip, and he never thought (twice!) about this misfortune. However, the bite had given him a special biochemical transformation 'consciousness' yielding a view for the 'wolfen' destiny, and now the mall-mannequin whispering to him, every Saturday when he'd visit his hometown shopping complex to peruse the newest collection of baseball-cards at the sports-trade store, was telling him things like, "The wolf inside you (now) is (purely) materialism, Amlan Satan, and no one can change this fate for your spirit...you're to contemplate its darkness (or lose my immortal counsel for Romanticism/art)."

PSYCHIATRIST: You claim you're doubly-vexed by the mannequin and lycanthropy.

SATAN: I visit this mannequin and am (romantically) interested in the store-clerk.

PSYCHIATRIST: You refuse to confide in this clerk-lady of your 'fantasy' doll?

SATAN: I'm unsure what's crazier --- the mannequin of lycanthropy/werewolves.

PSYCHIATRIST: If you tell this clerk of your 'double-insanity' (now), you'll wind.

SATAN: I think I need some time (alone)...away from Homeland civilization.

PSYCHIATRIST: You sound (to me) like a 'philosopher' requiring fortune-balance.

SATAN: Yeah (good for social media, humors).

Well, the transformation was reached, and Mr. Amlan Satan had become a full-grown werewolf, and when he revealed his psychic-secret(s) and showcased his 'extra-ordinary' gifts at reading minds and playing basketball, for his school team spirit/cheers, the entire American town celebrated this transformed man as a modern-miracle, and he compared himself (publicly) to Joseph Merrick (the Elephant-Man of the 20th-Century) and accented this 'journey' of consciousness with fortune-storytelling, including consumerism-parody avatars (e.g., "Evil-Elf") capturing all the Romanticism and 'fantasy' of capitalism-race superstition(s).

MANNEQUIN: Are you hearing me (now), Amlan Satan?
SATAN: Forget it, doll; I'm a celebrity-werewolf of the Homeland (now)!

MANNEQUIN: I was whispering to you about your self-humility, Satan.

SATAN: What're you whispering to me (now), doll?
MANNEQUIN: The wolf is you...and it's not you, Amlan Satan.

SATAN: I'm to become a humbled man/human, and I'll regain your heart.

MANNEQUIN: You said it.

SATAN: Live through my school-teacher life of deep pensive self-labors.

MANNEQUIN: You can hear me, Satan, because I'm your 'faerie' guide.

SATAN: I'm a werewolf (now), doll...and I'm praying about greatness (now).

MANNEQUIN: Consider your self-wellness, and your power(s), and find it.

SATAN: I know, for the good of American Homeland patriotism, right?

MANNEQUIN: You said it (good for social media).

SATAN: I'll think about it...maybe you're right about my (own) bounds.

MANNEQUIN: America will benefit...from your/this matter.

SATAN: I'm insane, but you're right (about patriotism).

Mr. Amlan Satan decided to control his werewolf spirit(s) and became a vigilante in the American Homeland, performing blood-diamond bank-heists in street-theater costumes/masks while revealing insurance-corruption for treasure-storages in the modern age, insisting that his natural-man heroics was a reflection of why the Wolfen-consciousness was (simply) not necessary for social-media commentary about capitalism-race storytelling.

SATAN: I'm not a werewolf; I'm more like Robin Hood; this is the (real) bread.

READER: Your stories about inventive deeds reminds me of the Mummers Parade.

SATAN: Surely; this is my method of self-direction in Western/American art.

READER: You've become a 'priest' of fortune-theater, a real crazy!

SATAN: Nothing's more 'crazy' than unbound ambition (for fantasies).

MANNEQUIN: You've managed to (successfully) create self-religion.

SATAN: I'm a hero-fellow with passion to control the Wolfen-spirit (in me).

MANNEQUIN: I'm your Romanticism-faerie companion once-more, Amlan.

SATAN: I'd not know what I'd have done had you not counseled me, love.

MANNEQUIN: Your 'vigilante' lore balanced the werewolf-celebrity hysteria?

SATAN: That was the hope, and I've a newfound sense of treasure-artistry.

MANNEQUIN: I thought you (really) were insane, Amlan Satan.

SATAN: Nah...I'm a 'priest' of capitalism-race chess, and you're my lover.

MANNEQUIN: Good for social media (and ambition!).

STUDENT: What's this Clippers (JJ Redick) 'trophy' (card) for us, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: Redick played a perfect stalemate against Chris Paul in college!

STUDENT: And now they're team-mates in Los Angeles (ok).

AMLAN: This is the 'magic' of fortune (on Earth) --- a 'matter' for bread.

STUDENT: Oh, superstition.

AMLAN: It's 'accessible' to everyone --- the 'quality' of success.

STUDENT: Wow, a matter for bureaucrats.

JOURNAL: "Being a self-controlled werewolf, with this 'chance' to trumpet self-made humility/heroics for (Interpol-relation?) blood-diamond insurance corruption to 'veil' my Wolfen celebrity for social messages about self-directed patriotism suggests (to us all) that hospitality-readings of superstitious other-worldly experiences may gift us Americans this magical examination for (pure) bread."
