The Raven-Home

A Story by Abishai100

Two ardent writers/buds seek a haven-house for deep superstitions-writings for capitalism's 'culture' but must 'transcend' a very-strange offer cast by a hell-goalie (rakshasi).

A world intrigue of fortune-superstitions and vanities drawn (very-loosely) from the excellent Eastern series of 'divine-intervention' Vimanika Comics. Thanks for reading,

Two writers had been living together in the winter of '23 in New England (Amlan Satan and Marcus Raki) and decided to create a special shared writing exercise about the existence of superstitious femme-potency 'avatar-beings' called rakshasis (female demon-deities of the forest/underground with messages of omen/fury) who'd challenge our mod-Homeland social-media commerce/traffic 'culture' of pesky 'incomplete-distances' to net-activity commentary for antiterrorism rhetoric/confidence/charm(s).

AMLAN: The house we share (now), buddy, is akin to that Byron-getaway from old!

RAKI: Excellence for mysteries in fascination, writing-pal; we'll make for space-chess.

AMLAN: Very cool, Raki; we'll cast out the 'demons' of Homeland woe(s) in this place!

RAKI: We might even include this 'haven' in our writing-presentations for media-IQ.

AMLAN: Sure, our residence does 'symbolize' a Western land-space for haven-design.

RAKI: Good for social media (interesting).

Amlan/Raki were in for a real superstition 'deed' indeed, and it was pure horror from the Inferno, for when they began to write about the femme-avatar 'beings' of capitalism-race 'chess-landscape' intrigue/troubles, these Eastern mystical 'demons' called rakshasis, one of these 'femme-fatale' beings (Circe) came to life and decided to haunt their special 'haven' for writing(s) and defied their seemingly 'overground' Western (American!) confidence about wrought fantasy for fortune-readings insight(s) and chose to terrorize their capitalism 'race' sensibilities of arrogance and lifestyle-comforts confidence (perhaps to 'secretly' inspire some deeper/dark more challenging art(s) for design and examinations!).

CIRCE (Rakshasi): I've been frightening you as a frightener, gents.

AMLAN/RAKI: We know that, Circe (in deeds).
CIRCE: You've been ardently writing about capitalism's superstitions/dark-magic?
AMLAN/RAKI: We've been doing that (with simplified materialism-IQ), Circe.
CIRCE: That's why I chose to 'elect' you as witnesses of the Realism behind Hell-IQ.
AMLAN/RAKI: We're not so lucky, Circe (ok).
CIRCE: Don't fear the worst, gents; this is an 'examination' for your work with wealth!
AMLAN/RAKI: Are you 'daring' us with something, Circe?
CIRCE: I want to see, if in my sensuous form, gents, if you'll compete for my love!
AMLAN/RAKI: You're quite beautiful (if very unusual/terrorizing), Circe.
CIRCE: I assure you, the 'winner' of the proposed-contest, won't think me a terrorist!
AMLAN/RAKI: Why'd we betray our brotherhood for a competition-hand for vanities?
CIRCE: Well, that's the test, gents, and I 'doubt' you'll transcend the temptations.
AMLAN/RAKI: This is like that move, The Ninth Gate (Roman Polanski).
CIRCE: Perhaps, gents; the examination is yours...or ours (ok).
AMLAN/RAKI: We mustn't betray our brotherhood...for its exchange(s) in 'race' IQ.
CIRCE: Hmm...you (gents) sound pensively intelligent about human leverage(s).
AMLAN/RAKI: We've been 'educated' to become rather 'plain' about Earth's wind(s).
CIRCE: Good (for social media culture); you've become 'Centurions' of an orientation.
AMLAN/RAKI: Will you stop frightening us, if we become 'commercial' diplomats?
CIRCE: Good luck (gents).

Amlan/Raki were fortunate in their decision to transcend this 'dark' proposition of the underground hellmouth(s) rakshasi (Circe) and resist betraying their writers-brotherhood to seek a 'contest' to 'curry' her favor(s) and seek a bloody challenge against each others' trust/friendship/respect! This was excellence indeed, in this Homeland (American) time of great pesky 'incomplete-distances' to traffic/lifestyle confidence and capitalism-race 'chess' insight destabilized (or even threatened!) by 'surfaced' forms of hideous terrorism (e.g., 9/11). Amlan Satan and Marcus Raki made 'toast' for their metaphysics-examination 'deed' in their cool New England writer's haven, which they named Raven, with a chess-cake cookie spread prepared for a very-nice Thanksgiving gathering of writers (Bostonians) during which they'd encourage other writers (men/women) to derive special theories/avatars re-presenting our mod-Earth 'fascination' with the design (or textured flavors) of commercial life vanities, mysteries, ambitions, dangers, and even leviathan (wow).
