Gremlins: American Weakness

Amlan procures a strange creature-pet (Gremlin), and when it multiples and its multiples mutate into trolls, Amlan and his girlfriend (Ezzy) must procure an (American) book.

A post-Xmas season adaptation of Gremlins (Joe Dante).

AMLAN: So this guy at this exotic-dive on our road-trip gifted me this Gremlin.

EZZY: What's it?
AMLAN: It's some ancient Chinese cryptic species and I named the pet Gizmo.

EZZY: It's very very cute (and tiny).

AMLAN: The guy who gifted me the creature-pet told me not to feed it cashews!

EZZY: Cashews (ok).

AMLAN: Sounds silly, like a harmless Facebook-poke or something like that.

Amlan should've taken the advice-omen seriously, regarding cashew-darkness, from the eatery-owner/sage who gifted him an Xmas-season ancient-creature descendant pet called a Gremlin, and after Amlan and his girlfriend Ezzy took Gizmo into their shared (American) apartment, and learned to love it, they never looked-back on the eatery/advice that feeding 'Gizmo' (the Gremlin) cashews was a certain road to Hell, not hospitality-reading.

AMLAN: Hey Gizmo, want a few cashews (for breakfast-milk)?

GIZMO: Ooh, yum yum yum.

AMLAN: See, they're small nuts, small like you, easy to eat (ha).

GIZMO: Yum.

AMLAN: Ezzy loves ya (she said so on Facebook!).

Upon eating the breakfast-milk cashews, Gizmo multiplied into 5 different Gremlins, and one of them mutated into a troll, as their 'fearless' troll-captain named Stripe and the others followed-suit quite soon thereafter (wow). These trolls, and their captain Stripe, were leviathan-demons from the dark-side of the world, and they escaped Amlan and Ezzy's apartment and entered the city (America) and began making mayhem as small-wonders armed with explosives!

EZZY: Definitely not a Facebook-poke (or anything).

Fortunately, Amlan and Ezzy discovered Stripe's special/stranger weakness, that it simply was disoriented in water, since it preferred soda. Amlan grabbed Stripe and his legion of trolls in a giant net and dumped the net-bag into the city-fountain at sunrise and watched them melt-away. What a shock, to see a once-beloved ancient-creature (Gizmo) draw a special 'light' of valor for (American) defenses and photo-synthesis (sure).

EZZY: Any Given Sunday?
AMLAN: Good New Year's resolution, darling.

EZZY: Forgive/forget, we returned the Gremlin to that eatery-sage, Amlan.

AMLAN: I'll adapt this into some art-friendly superstition-tale about bureaucracy.

EZZY: Thanx.

Well, the (American) abode of Amlan and Ezzy was once-more bright, and the duet shared a lovely culture-spirits movie together on New Year's, a football story about incomplete-distances to life/media-readings for basic simple joy and complications of sportsmanship. They forgot about the Gremlins now.

EZZY: Cashews.

AMLAN: Great...good for the dictionary.
