Library/Citadel

A Story by Abishai100

4-Homeland heroes defend a Jersey-library from the invasion of Lucifer, for an Earth-view of 'alien' (acidic) butter!

A fun holiday-season(s) yarn about 'inventions' in securities-superstitions, for Homeland rhetoric, very loosely inspired by Mars Attacks! (Tim Burton).

A quartet of mystics (Amlan and Marcus and Ezzy and Danica) took-up residence at a special Homeland hostel-station (Wingate) from which they'd trek to a special South-Jersey public-library where they'd create a special/magical securities-perimeter 'circle' to ward off the threatening presence of Lucifer (for social-media culture laurels).

AMLAN: This Echelon/Voorhees library requires a 'watch' for shields from Satan/Lucifer.

MARCUS: We'll keep eye for 'mystery-folk' scurrying inside with a look of malice?

EZZY: The weaponry we'd wield reflects a social-media commentary life of sanity!

DANICA: The threat posed by Lucifer to this Jersey-'citadel' is one of traffic-chess.

AMLAN: Paranoia/fear in everyday-traffic, requiring distances for cyber-photo chess.

Sure, there was no real (dark/mystery) threat to this iconic and wonderful American Homeland 'institution' of traffic/life splendors, this South-Jersey 'citadel' like library that Amlan/Marcus/Ezzy/Danica sought to secure for American pride, but they did (ironically) intimate the acid-presence invader-sensibilities of Lucifer/Satan who'd reveal himself as a dark-haired femme-fatale for Halloween, to scare the kids (wow).

LUCIFER: I shall appear in varied forms, as varied visage visitors for this Vogelson-branch Homeland-Jersey 'citadel' like library and see what kinds of American Homeland 'defenders' offer some hand/watch for securities gestures or metaphysics-IQ, to warrant a special 'sovereignty' pardon for a 'race' (simply) immersed in a Western culture of 'worldly' readings (for self-made complexity!).

The weapons the hero-quartet of mystics of Wingate wielded included a glowing beryl-crystal clump which they'd pair with sunlight to blind any 'ruffian' scurrying inside the South-Jersey citadel-like reading-institution (library), a kazoo to make 'funny-sounds' to disarm and 'deflate' any vanity-rich 'scurrying' individual seeking to (seemingly) create some sort of library-visit peace-disturbing loudness, a water-revolver (toy) filled with very hot-water, to shoot the invader's shoes (ha), and a handful of marbles to trip up the invader seemingly scurrying inside the Homeland institution with that sense of malicious mischief on his face (clear).

LUCIFER: I shall walk-in with a basketball-chess set for an 'equivalences' vanity-art.

LIBRARIAN: Why the sports-chess toy for Halloween, young lady?

LUCIFER: I might want to boast a stalemate-diagram for sport to the kids inside (ha).

LIBRARIAN: Quite unusual 'theater' for Halloweentime, young lady, even for Vogelson.

LUCIFER: I 'doubt' anyone'd challenge me with a comparable entertainment treat!

LIBRARIAN: You might be right, young lady (I guess).

This 'young-lady' visage Lucifer/Satan took-on for his Halloweentime Homeland citadel-like library entrance fooled the hero-quartet, though they'd already succeeded in the use of their 'nifty' vigilante-weaponry to 'disorient' varied 'scurrying' individuals seeking to invade the 'haven' of that reading-institution, who were all (incidentally) manifestations of the Devil (veiled!). This time, this 'young-lady' Halloween visage fooled the protectors of American art(s).

LUCIFER: See I'm reading some history-record (on microfiche) as an entertainer?

AMLAN: You strike us as an offbeat femme-visitor who's evaded our suspiciousness!

MARCUS: You've got raven-black hair, like a sorceress, young lady.

EZZY: Why the microfiche-record for South-Jersey library examination(s), girlfriend?

DANICA: Are you 'literalizing' some literacy-vanity expression for Halloweentime?

LUCIFER: No, I mean to 'sully' Earth-domain with an 'alien' message of shocking frills.

AMLAN: Goodness us; you're Lucifer (veiled)!

MARCUS: I've got the mind to shoot your leather-boots with hot-water, Devil.

EZZY: We demand to 're-present' your microfiche research for acid-chess IQ/journals.

DANICA: You can't 'escape' mankind examination and evade our social-media photo-IQ.

LUCIFER: You may publish what I'm reading, but keep my 'interest(s)' truthful/sane.

AMLAN: A chess-master defying kingdom-homeland view for 'library' access-sarcasm.

LUCIFER: I'm self-exiling myself to the Red-Planet (Mars) post-message of literacy-IQ.

AMLAN: Escapism...from social/street bread.

MARCUS: Even Martians like microfiche.

EZZY: Can't we all get-along (for social media literacy)?

The 4-Homeland heroes made 'toast' for their excellent 'expulsion' of Lucifer from the Jersey-library with a world-exchange reflective culinary-treat soft/zesty (Indian) luchi-bread thanksgiving-diner plate chat(s) highlighting what they'd learn from the defenses of social-media/traffic/bureaucracy 'culture' of American pride, for those distances to sovereignty, superstition, sacredness, standing, and of course...scholarships.
