Grifters-Point

A Story by Abishai100
"

An Algerian-American 'grifter-prince' (Mr. Amlan Satan) makes a racer-company (Arklow) upstart-millionaire potential 'wage' with a ruthless gem-baron for distance.

"
A bright adaptation/fanfiction of sorts of that iconic 20th-Century thief-culture psyche-masterpiece, The Grifters (John Cusack), which I think you'll like, 
DISCLAIMER: This work of 'fanfiction' offers no ties to the referenced film of inspiration and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression (for 'open' interest).

Amlan Satan had moved from Algiers and became a US-citizen and studied economics and became fascinated with blood-diamond smugglers highways and learned of an insider-link with an upstart-racer company (Arklow) at Churchill Downs that drew a ruthless gem-baron investor (Ion), requiring a Selfie-culture co-investment commentary about (insured) treasure islands of capitalism-race flares and leviathan (wow).



ION: You're a grifter.
SATAN: Nah, just a prince of this racer-company investment handshake (Arklow).
ION: What makes you so sure this special Derby-event is worth its silver-weights?
SATAN: Oh, it is, bad-baron; we make a cyber-coop comment about audiences.
ION: And I give you some of my 'famous' gems as a handshake, but it's a winner?
SATAN: Would I sell you a turkey, especially since I'm a fan of folk-literature?
ION: Eco-capitalism (ha).



He found a monkey-wrench gang in Kentucky which included the lovely Esmerelda, whom he fell in love with but who also drew the 'eye(s)' of Baron Ion, so he had to be quick about it.

INTERPOL: This racer-company became a millionaire-stat!
CHURCHILL-DOWNS OFFICIAL: The musketeer behind the Ion-IQ left this art-thing.
INTERPOL: Aha, a comic-vigilantism Romanticism duet for youth(s), ok.
OFFICIAL: No shock this co-investment street-chatter's drawn insurance-queries.
INTERPOL: That's why we're here...to see if multi-branch marketing is African.
OFFICIAL: Didn't Mr. Amlan Satan fly to a Brussels-sprout eatery-venture?
INTERPOL: With his darling Esmerelda, which is what I imagine this art's themed!
OFFICIAL: Grifter-magic for an eco-capitalism 'universe' of evil(s), good-friend.
INTERPOL: Thanx (bureaucracy-readings).



Amlan and Esmerelda ('Ezzy') did make it all the way to their Brussels-sprout capitalism daydream, and they served shrimp-noodles that became a Belgian-cyber legend (wow). Well, while the Ion-company was now 'linking' with millionaire-Arklow inquiries for sport, Amlan conceived of his escapism-chess from grifters-universes, and he learned that capitalism was a cool blend of ambition...and leviathan (sure).



EZZY: An antique carousel (horse) piece!
SATAN: Let's name it Arklow, darling.
EZZY: Memories haunt (all)!
SATAN: Not for a grifter-turned-detective, Esmerelda (wow).
