Grifter's Tune

Grifter's Tune

A Story by Abishai100
"

A Homeland fortune-reading in games and 'grifter' lyric(s) for a yielded image of Earthling-culture (incomplete) dry-excellence!

"
A capitalism-superstition yarn inspired by The Grifters (John Cusack), or perhaps an adaptation of the film itself, which I hope you like,

Mr. Amlan Satan moved from Algiers to Virginia Beach where he honed his natural grifter skills to target a ruthless diamond-baron now invested in Churchill-Downs fare, drawing him to a social-media culture 'friendly' co-investment wage for a racer-company (Arklow) of million-dollar earnings premonitions, hoping to draw some required (Interpol-relation?) eyes on such American Homeland fortune-lifestyle readings (for consumerism bureaucracy!).



BARON ION: This street-musketeer claims some media-investment lore for me.
ASSOCIATE: He's a natural grifter it seems to us, Ion; Churchill-Downs is arena.
BARON ION: Well, if he's prediction-wise about this racer-company, we've IQ.
ASSOCIATE: Surely does seem like a future-winner 'class' for Kentucky-chess!
BARON ION: He's also offered to showcase a replica-treasure of mine.
ASSOCIATE: Ha, FaceTime American street-magic for youthful-consumerism?
BARON ION: Let's hope so, for the sake of this 'upstart' bread/fruit wager.
ASSOCIATE: What's his name...Satan?
BARON ION: French-Algerian roots, Catholic-citizen now; seems wise, friend.
ASSOCIATE: Well, we're to make a nice game-diorama then for gem-hyperbole.
BARON ION: Good (Facebook-like, friend).



Of course, Mr. Amlan Satan was no ordinary grifter of the Western-world capitalism-race super vision chess-consciousness, likening himself to Artful Dodger and perhaps 'daydreaming' this work was like James Bond oriented commerce/media highways IQ for a sports-matrix engineered culture of (incomplete) competition-imagery. That's why he marked the Ion-company as a racer-company 'drawn' language-arts re-presentation of American ethos in fortune-readings (for bureaucracy-superstitions!).



ION: You sure Arklow's got the hot-stuff to be in our joint-venture for dare(s)?
AMLAN SATAN: I assure you, Baron Ion, this is pure antiterrorism brain-candy!
ION: Using racer-patriot 'stuff' to create gem-consumerism hype on Facebook?
AMLAN SATAN: Sounds like a geek-squad cliche, but it's the 'print' for bread.
ION: This better not turn into some race-investment examination point, Satan.
AMLAN SATAN: Why'd I want to showcase your treasures (replicas) for meat?
ION: I guess it (all) sounds like a veiling for my future-work in Antwerp, Satan.
AMLAN SATAN: Cool...it's settled; you get gem-insurance eye; I get a darling.
ION: Ha, some Churchill-Downs daddy's daughter for American pride, Satan?
AMLAN SATAN: This is Homeland blueprint for what's antiterrorism matter, Ion.
ION: Aha, for an Earthling-culture statement in 'working' field goals (good).



What Baron Ion did understand was that Mr. Amlan Satan was a 'natural' grifter of the classic-variety, seeking Romanticism hand(s) for capitalism-race super vision at a race-company intersection 'point' for gem-media hype, but what he didn't understand (incompletely!) was that Amlan was in deed and faith courting a Churchill-Downs daughter, Ezzy, who'd become his field goal 'view' for what made capitalism in the West a 'fiction' for all things imaged 'cute' (hmmm).



BARON ION: That musketeer made-off with his darling to a Brussels-sprout IQ.
ASSOCIATE: We're in the clear with the racer-retreat, despite Arklow-win(s).
BARON ION: Well, next-time, I won't let a 'world-hopper' make for my time.
ASSOCIATE: We're in irony fortunate not feared, Ion; Satan's fled besides.
BARON ION: Damn, he's like a cartoon-avatar in this 'wire' world (good).



EZZY: Belgian waffles, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: Everyone likes matches!
EZZY: I remind you of mother, eh?
AMLAN: I won you fare-for-square(s), Ezzy my darling.
EZZY: Ion-company bureaucracy reading?
AMLAN: Past/tense; we're Euro-anime art investment material.
EZZY: I'm the artist...you're the chef.
AMLAN: Doubtless (direction).
EZZY: Cool.
