Redwood-IQ: Creeper-Jack {License}

A Story by Abishai100

Homeland (would-be) heroes perform a 'vigilante-exorcist' examination in the woods for a 'wire' challenge to a dark-side messenger.

A Homeland transit-paranoia yarn featuring the 'nasty' horror-avatar Creeper (Jeepers-Creepers) with a 'fantastic' allusion to the 19th-Century imp-devil Spring-heeled Jack (old-London lore). Thanks for reading!

AMLAN: This Creeper specter in the Redwoods is Spring-heeled Jack reborn.

MARCUS: Hat-and-coat bat-wing flying zombie with battle-axes hands; Devil.

EZZY: The specter's behind vanishings and has a decapitation agenda.

DANICA: End-Days tribulation by the disguised Devil; perchance damsel-IQ.

AMLAN: This man-dragon hellraiser requires vigilante-exorcist statement.

MARCUS: We're the Homeland quartet of heroes ('Reliables') for the job!

EZZY: It's a social-media culture cross-section crusade for transit-photos.

DANICA: Spring-heeled Jack (19th-C.) was also transit 'terrorism' IQ.

AMLAN: Good Facebook like.

Our Homeland quartet of would-be heroes calling themselves the Reliables (Amlan and Marcus and Ezzy and Danica) darted to the Cali-Homeland woods (Redwoods) for a superstition-lore of vigilante-exorcist like expression, armed with flare-guns and civilization symbols as 'spirit-shields' for defiance of the Creeper's terrorist/decapitation 'agenda' in the 21st-Century. When they got there, they saw the hat-and-coat wearing zombie-specter flying around late-night (with his bat-wings) carrying a terrified damsel (camper from Hollywood).

CREEPER: You ground me with flare-shot to my wings; I require chess-IQ.

RELIABLES: You're humbled and now face our Earthling-chess statements!

CREEPER: What manner of defiance is this vigilante-exorcist language?

RELIABLES: We know you're (somehow) Spring-heeled Jack reborn for Hell.

CREEPER: I'd not tell you such a thing.

RELIABLES: We also know, like Spring-heeled Jack, you've a Devil's visage/IQ.

CREEPER: Like that 'London-Jack' of old, I suppose I'm a 'transit' demon, ha.

RELIABLES: Perchance this is an End-Days tribulation for domain superstition?

CREEPER: If I'm the Devil (himself), you'd need serious exorcism-hands, eh?

RELIABLES: We've armed ourselves with logic/sportsmanship intelligence!

CREEPER: Proceed (for a bureaucracy-reading!).

The Reliables (Amlan/Marcus/Ezzy/Danica) cited the Liar-paradox addendum they brought for Earthling 'IQ' ("Every statement is incomplete") for an expression-defense in competency and language/logic/communications agenda for self-organized thinking, to link manmade bureaucracy-perception with social activity/behavior 'Rationalism' for an exorcist-wording for dominion-reliance (wow).

AMLAN: Not all statements are incomplete; at least one's inquiry!

RELIABLES: We insist you free the damsel-hostage you held (in-flight), Devil!

CREEPER: She's yours...should you achieve this 'deed' for Earthling-passage.

RELIABLES: With your grounded with our flare-light, we now offer sports-IQ.

CREEPER: What's it, heroes?

RELIABLES: We offer this Joe Montana QB-card and a Super Bowl '23 bread.

CREEPER: I know it; Montana's late-game heroics against hot-Bengals march!

RELIABLES: Diligence-and-style contour for a 'fantastic' stalemate (feathers).

CREEPER: I suppose this is an Earthling-tune for sportsmanship-energizers?

RELIABLES: The right-tone(s) expression for life/transit/activity drawings.

CREEPER: Damn (bureaucracy-reading).

RELIABLES: Seems our Montana 'dowry' pardons your damsel-hostage (for us).

Well, the Creeper agreed to a self-exile status (deep-ocean abyss) after conceding the Reliables' wits for language-arts in Earthling statements/expressions in activity and culture-'data' and managed to return the Hollywood-damsel, once trapped in his hideous arms, to her worldly-world of incomplete-distances to bureaucracy-perfections (wow). Amlan sought to adapt this 'misadventure' of vigilante-exorcist proportion into a (Pulitzer-worthy!) novel titled Hollywood Address.
