Artful-Grifter(s)

A Story by Abishai100

Can a natural street-wizard 'grifter' find the needed American continental 'track-magic' to complement treasure-motions with dyer street-acumen?

Mr. Amlan Satan had become a natural grifter after moving from Algiers to Providence and decided to make himself a transformer wild-racer company advocate in Kentucy (Arklow) for a blood-diamond baron world co-investment schematic that would draw Interpol-relation eyes to the horse/sea world of social-media consumerism and fortune-readings commentary. However, he remained haunted by the memory of his mother (Nina) who warned him not to immerse too deeply in the 'theater' of commerce-traffic vanities, the world of grifter-bureaucracy (for the Ego).



BARON ION: An Arklow diamond-showcase cyber-ad hyperbole for insurance.
MR. SATAN: For the course of bureaus/tracks, bad-baron; I'll be your sentinel!
ION: You're trading these gems for social-media examination and Arklow-IQ.
AMLAN: Arklow's a future-millionaire; worth a silver-weight in distance.
ION: I'm not into celebrity/culture, Mr. Satan; you're an Artful-Dodger type.
AMLAN: Yea, but I love that magazine-reliable 'feeling' of lost-bureaus.
ION: Alright (for a treasure-reading), Mr. Satan (good-luck).



Of course, the Arklow venture proved the sufficiency for Mr. Amlan Satan to mutate his natural-grifter consciousness and magic into an activity-board for (Interpol-relation?) eyes in Kentucky, while the Ion-company was 'moved' to make a treasure-insurance commentary for race-company investments for insurance/endorsements in this new time of cyber-journals/photos of underworld activity (for bureaucracy-readings!).



ESMERELDA: There's some night highlight(s) for this Arklow-Ion chess-knot.
AMLAN: You remind me of Nina, Ezzy.
ESMERELDA: You're a natural street-wanderer (by nature/color), Mr. Satan.
AMLAN: You kept those gem-traded items in good-keep at the horse-race.
ESMERELDA: I didn't mind playing your gypsy-ad revenue-angel, Amlan (ok).
AMLAN: This is true-love magic, for a grifter and now blood-diamond hero!
ESMERELDA: You've the charm of a smiler but the depression of a saint.
AMLAN: It's not you...it's Nina.
ESMERELDA: Good; I'm your Facebook-poke (hmmm).
AMLAN: Everyone likes matches.



Of course, Amlan Satan left a nice 'treasure' for the Ion-company's post-Arklow adventure-boards for an insurance-media activity intuition, so Baron Ion would 'pardon' the musketeer-work and think merely of Satan as a hand-wave artist-man of these treasure-paranoia times (wow).

BARON ION: Some Cali-Bowl memoir for thanksgiving/television commentary.
ASSOCIATE: So, seems this Satan's made-off with Arklow-IQ and a damsel too!
BARON ION: That's the universe of grifter-magic; cards-for-bureaus (ha).
ASSOCIATE: I'll take a grifter over a terrorist any-day, bad-baron (wow).
BARON ION: Well, next-time we prep with more wood in investor-beard.
