Mannequin: A Fan-Belt

Mannequin: A Fan-Belt

A Story by Abishai100
"

A 'world-man' finds special 'capitalism' enchantment with a mall-mannequin (Esmerelda) who becomes his special 'Aphrodite' of ('American') diagonal(s).

"
A 'bright' Thanksgiving adaptation of the iconic consumerism-metaphysics film Mannequin (Michael Gottlieb). Hope you like (and Happy Holidays),

AMLAN: Let's find some real magic at the mall this Black Friday.
MARCUS: We've been thinking much of 'alien' chess and migrations/politics, ok.
EZZY: Amlan needs it the most, some social media 'culture' comfort(s).
DANICA: Maybe he'll meet a nice lady in this 'trafficked-land' of bureaucracy!



Sure, Amlan was somewhat heavy-brained with all this journal-work with the history of war for his cyber-project, which he liked saying was 'backed' by gov't-organization, but this mall 'retreat' for a special superstition-enchantment fun for capitalism 'rhetoric' on Black Friday with his three associates (Marcus/Ezzy/Danica) would offer him some hope of 'escape' from that dark universe of dark chess concerning mankind-leviathans (of bureaucracy).



ESMERELDA: Can you hear me, man?
AMLAN: You're a mannequin (I can hear you!).
ESMERELDA: Do something for me, and I'll come-to-life and become your wife, Amlan.
AMLAN: How'd you know my name?
ESMERELDA: I'm a time-traveler/sorceress, and I've been spying on your (good) works.
AMLAN: Cool...what's this 'deed' for language/consciousness, for you (mannequin)?
ESMERELDA: My name's Esmerelda; you make a world-culture masquerade fable.
AMLAN: Cool...how about blood-diamond chess for Earth-minerals mining miracle(s)?
ESMERELDA: Sounds like a 'sport' for social media 'culture' fantasy/adverbs (cool).
AMLAN: Can't wait...I'll return to 'cast' you (for me!) as my Aphrodite for loneliness.
ESMERELDA: Very cool (thanx).



Well, Amlan got the 'deed' for his magical sorceress-mannequin (Esmerelda) for a special Detroit treasures/insurance motions IQ/chess in the American Homeland and was surprised to see her come-to-life (as promised). He took her to a Thanksgiving sports-extravaganza the next-year and hoped that what his life brought forth was that culmination of labors/duties yielding an (earned) 'image' of the American Dream...leviathan-relief(s).



ESMERELDA: I got you this 'cool' GI-Joe (comics), darling!
AMLAN: Wow...something for our son (someday), maybe, Esmerelda.
ESMERELDA: Any regrets?
AMLAN: The Earth (America) has endured much field-woe(s); but you made one smile.
ESMERELDA: I knew the right 'dash' of patriotism would yield a life-examination(s).
AMLAN: It sure did (for us); I'm thinking of adapting our faerie-tale into a comic-book.
ESMERELDA: GI-Joe?
AMLAN: No, no; I was thinkin' Richie-Rich (Harvey Comics)!
ESMERELDA: Wow, a 'photo-image' of the inspiration behind B+ superstition.
