Wetlands: Invader Field Goal

A Story by Abishai100

Amlan narrates this (fictional/epic) 'claim' of a Wetlands-quartet of heroes seeking an exorcist/patriot 'stand' against a vile zombie-specter, for Homeland's chess.

Another Homeland defense superstition 'faerie-tale' noir featuring that 'nasty' horror-avatar Creeper (Jeepers-Creepers) and loosely drawing on (American) sportsmanship/media 'culture' consciousness weight-themes from the football-film Any Given Sunday (Oliver Stone) with a 'specific' Earthling-culture reference to a 'fantastic' nearly-perfect chess-stalemate (American pro-football) diagram-reference to a Bills-49ers (NFL, Sept.-13, '92) media-windows 'showcase' for 2024. Thanks for reading!

My name's Amlan Satan, and when I was a young professor in the East Coast (USA), I thought about varied post-WWII Roswell invasion-lore, coupled with post-9/11 era Homeland superstitions of terrorism-storyboards, before I teamed-up with a trio of 'would-be' heroes (Marcus and Ezzy and Danica) to study recent Wetlands (Orange-State) swamp-environment superstitious 'sightings' of a zombie-specter in hat and trench-coat, soaring in bat-wings, and wielding a Medieval battle-axes hands for decapitation/terrorism symbolism, drawing a special social-media culture commentary about transit-paranoia (wow). Our quartet of heroes called ourselves the Reliables and prepared for cyber-commentary about 'alien' presence for terror/anarchy in this 21st-Century of net-activity drawn socialized bureaucracy-readings (for leviathan!).

MARCUS: The Creeper, the invader (Wetlands), may be afraid of flare-light.

AMLAN (Me): Interest for investors in cryptids/aliens; we need exorcist-chess!

EZZY: The Wetlands is (surely) environment-symbolism for organic-transit IQ.

DANICA: We'd find some shield with sportsmanship 'matrix' vanities imagery, no?

MARCUS: Danica's right; Orange-State sports-fanfare calls for capitalism-art(s).

AMLAN: We'd make for a photo-synthesis in Earthling-culture/activity beards!

CYBER_FANZINE: "Who're these 'fantastic' Reliables, and why/how do they 'catch' our Homeland/American Wetlands transit-superstitions organic-storyboards for exorcist-shielding and vigilantism-like heroics with these Creeper sightings and human-camper/traveler vanishings (or perhaps bloody-murders!) in our new commented space age of traffic/paranoia?"

When we trekked into the swamp Wetlands with our 'tools/kit' with vigor, we spotted the Creeper soaring half-invisibly in the moonlight night-sky and grounded the creature from the dark-side with flare-light shots to its creepy bat-wings before engaging a continued 'humility-stand' for Earthling-culture and net-activity 'drawn' language-arts for transit/traffic securities in bureaucracy-readings for distance photo-synthesis (wow).

CREEPER: You dare ground the likes of me, heroes?
RELIABLES: We've the exorcist-patriot tools to mark you as Spring-heeled Jack!
CREEPER: That old-London imp-terror lore about street-traffic terrorism.
RELIABLES: Are you the same 'specter' (reborn somehow) for mod-Hell?
CREEPER: Perhaps I am, but you've grounded me with flares to my wings (IQ?).
RELIABLES: You're surely an adversary of Earthling-transit superstitions/fear(s).
CREEPER: Perhaps I am, but I now require your home-world culture confidence!
RELIABLES: That's what we expected, Creeper; we've brought patriot-image IQ!
CREEPER: Concerning/what?
RELIABLES: A Bills (Buffalo) pro-football level spirits 'treasure' for memoir/IQ.
CREEPER: Capitalism-reflection for media-IQ in sports (football) and contests?
RELIABLES: Our Bills (football) 'trophy' is a memoir of a 9/13/1992 stalemate.
CREEPER: What's it?
RELIABLES: On that date (20th-Century), the Bills outmatched 49ers 34-31, ha.
CREEPER: San Francisco 49ers, after the Joe Montana (Steve Young) era (IQ?).
RELIABLES: Your Wetlands-transit terrorism is a threat to Earthling-culture IQ.
CREEPER: Sportsmanship-patriot 'stand' in games-symbolism as chess-matter?
RELIABLES: Why not...but for a bureaucracy-reading in secured Earth-religion?
CREEPER: Football as religion, sounds like idealism for child-like heroes of IQ!
RELIABLES: Can you not see our defense-logic for competitive sovereignty?
CREEPER: I suppose you've offered some humility-brains, for culture's marks.
RELIABLES: Self-exile then to our deep-ocean abyss as a (private) world-critic!
CREEPER: Damn...sounds like a 'wage' for sovereignty-lines; I accept fielding.
RELIABLES: Farewell, Creeper; we'll adapt your (secret) tale into world-arts.

CREEPER: Good (farewell).

Well, needless to say this micro-miracle of achieved 'self-exile' of the Creeper (whom we all believed was some reincarnated 'manifestation' of Spring-heeled Jack from old-London!) in the Homeland/Wetlands prompted in our quartet ('Reliables') a certain humility-consciousness for the scales/rulers of achieved sovereignty-diagramming in the language-arts terms of net-activity (sportsmanship!) imagery for Earthling-culture vanities (for bureaucracy). I decided to pen this (secret) memoir in a cemetery-buried time-capsule re-telling for future-age archaeologists to find...in case the Creeper is (once-more) 'reincarnated' as some vile adversary of transit/traffic superstition (hmm).

MARCUS: We sure cited a 'beauty' for Earth-net culture commentary/defense.

AMLAN (Me): Surely did, friends; that Bills-49ers (1992) 'stunner' was stalemate!

EZZY: Chess and exorcism with 'flare' for Creeper eviction/self-exile (IQ).

DANICA: Seems this did become that 'photo-synthesis' Amlan called patriotism.

MARCUS: Reliables-bread.

Marcus began adapting our Wetlands-trophy into a 'fantastic' Earth-culture defense/exorcism tale worth its weight in silver, and I proceeded to begin constructing this 'epic' time-capsule re-telling, keeping our promise(s) to keep the Creeper (perhaps Spring-heeled Jack) a 'dark-side' secret, for basic bureaucracy-diamonds hygiene (for the Ego).
