Red Quarter

A Story by Abishai100
"

A Homeland sportsmanship-extravaganza requires safe-distance when a substantial threat, in the form of a 'specter' of terrorism, creates a (possible) 'worldly' message.

"
An Super Bowl 'fanfare' fable inspired by the patriotism/street-IQ ideations of The Last Boy Scout (Tony Scott). Happy Thanksgiving!

Much Homeland intrigue was bound, as an ex-receiver (Mr. Amlan Satan), once proud resident of the City of Brotherly Love, was now working as a private-detective on a special pre-Bowl case linked to a horrid blood-diamond rumor and 'specter' sighting in New York, requiring a social media culture citizenry commentary 'defense' posture for our incomplete-distances to traffic/consumerism/fanfare bureaucracy-confidence(s).



SATAN: At least the Bud-Bowl shan't be affected by any Bowl-threat (Halftime?).
CONSULTANT: Perhaps this 'specter' will swoop-in for a message (Philly-NY?).
SATAN: We'd need some special Homeland securities-confidence stance for alien-chess.
CONSULTANT: I know a chemist in the city who's linked to product marketing (ads).
SATAN: Fine; we'd counter media/consumerism 'terrorism' with goods-fencing (ha).
CONSULTANT: A wise method-IQ for the photo-graphics of materialism lines, ok.
SATAN: All corruption in capitalism bred into sports/media is an 'alien' consciousness.



Satan and his friend were right. The specter, an 'alien' presence likened to some dragon or the Devil himself, a creature of unknown origin/identity, perhaps simply a man in a very very fancy leather-costume (red-colored), was given the nickname Red Goblin, for his 'comic' approach to terrorism threat messaging for Super Bowl fanfare (Philadelphia-NY). As the Bills and Eagles prepared for media shine, Red Goblin hoped to swoop-in with pumpkin-bombs, for a media-examination of the quality of sportsmanship defense lines for Earth's readings (of the heart).



SATAN: I'm cheering for Buffalo, friend.
CONSULTANT: I've always been a fan of eagles and Eagles, Satan.
SATAN: I miss Philadelphia (sports), but I'm committed to a Homeland entirety feeling!
CONSULTANT: Me too; but the Eagles deserve another Bowl title, after the Patriots, no?
SATAN: I 'doubt' that's what's the concern/consciousness of this villainous Red-Goblin, ok.
CONSULTANT: We mustn't fail...for the laurel(s) of manmade/American leviathans.



Now, the season featured ('23) much Philly-hyperbole, and they stormed into the Bowl extravaganza with much energizer-IQ, ahead of the Red-Goblin, but the 'upstart' Buffalo (NY) team hoped to dispel the 'stigmata' of New York paranoia with this menace-shadow stalking the 'scene' as they challenged the Eagles' sense(s) of 'incomplete-distances' to media/consumerism flair-for-photojournalism (with their own 'cool' leviathan synthesis).



RED GOBLIN: Liquid-nitrogen guns for the sports-show, Detective Satan?
AMLAN: My consultant/I feel any 'measure' for Homeland field-advantage was warrant.
RED GOBLIN: I merely appear here (Halftime) with pumpkin-bombs, good-fellow sir.
AMLAN: You're an evil messenger of an 'alien' consciousness, un-American for taste.
RED GOBLIN: You're frightening me with that ice-gun of yours, Satan!
AMLAN: All the better to shoo-you away with, Goblin from the Inferno.
RED GOBLIN: All this for the Super Bowl (ads)?
AMLAN: All's 'fare' in love...and bureaucracy (ha).
