Racing the Bond

Racing the Bond

A Story by Abishai100

Can grifter-magic yield special superstition(s)-lights for racing, animals, barons, dreamers, and journals?

"
A 'bright' adaptation for that amazing/bizarre American crime-psychology noir-society film The Grifters (John Cusack), which I think you'll like,

Amlan Satan moved from Algeria to Gatlinburg and was preparing a special 'grifter' eye for horse-racing coinvestment insurance-intrigue 'chess-magic' for a wage-play against the Ion-company (Churchil_Downs) which would create a special 'image' of diamond-marketing...and blood-diamond eco-minerals mining value(s) lore (but for himself or America?).



He met a darling lady of the media-world, a stunt-woman working inside as a Camelot-production and Medieval-lore storyboard company portraying a more 'muscular' Lady-of-the-Lake and took interest with Satan's social media posts about his new 'upstart-racer' company (Arklow) interest which he promised would be a future-world 'millionaire-game' for gem-marketing (insurance) talk, reflecting mod-Homeland cinematic expressions (for all!).



SATAN: This is 'good' for social media, lady.
ESMERELDA (Stunt-Woman): So I'm to impress Baron Ion with gems/glass?
SATAN: That's the synthesized play and draws interest form consumers.
ESMERELDA: And big-time media-culture fans...
SATAN: ...of bread (arguably).



BARON ION: This Arklow co-investment is a million-promise for gem-insurance commentary for eco-minerals mining 'paranoia' you say, prince?
SATAN: Bad-baron, everyone's talking about bad-capitalism, on you!
ION: What if the company loses?
SATAN: You don't want a 'simplified' minimum wage, chemical-man?
ION: Alright (for social media IQ).



Well, the roles were cast, and Esmerelda 'distracted' the company-baron while Satan (Amlan) made the right-stuff moves to draw (Interpol-relation?) eyes on Churchill-Downs diamond-ads for super-vision and examination(s), offering a 'chess-stalemate' excellence for mod-Homeland capitalism-race art(s)...for 'worldly' superstition.



BARON ION: I want to look like an eco-freedom fighter, bad-guy.
ASSOCIATE: I think that's the play these 'Grifters' erected, Ion (damn).
BARON ION: Well...all's a fare-examination(s) length for what's bread.
ASSOCIATED: No doubt(s).



ESMERELDA: Thanx.
SATAN: Your well-come, Ezzy.
ESMERELDA: Seabiscuit?
SATAN: Why not (for the grifters).



Years later, we find our antihero-prince (Mr. Satan) in Boston-town working a new gem-marketing 'faerie-tale' company with some major movie-star working as an 'insider' with eco-minerals mining ethics, and Ezzy had long-left him, realizing this was no 'James Bond' of capitalism-race chess and she was no Lady-of-the-Lake...but a grifter (for social media commentary/critique).



EZZY: You'll always be a lycanthrope.
SATAN: You'll always be a grifter, Esmerelda!
EZZY: Maybe that's what I'll do...write about werewolves in America.
SATAN: Sounds like bread (thanx).



What could an 'Artful-Dodger' grifter like Amlan Satan do but toast a lonely Thanksgiving (Indian) luchi-bread diner-plate chat (for social media) and reflect on the capitalism-race 'chess' he turned into a 'wage' for what's (purely) an American expression (for silver)?
