The Cell*

An inventive criminal-insanity portrait of detectives/psychos in an American city-line featuring (actual) blackness.

An inventive 'spin' on the crime-insanity concepts from The Cell (Tarsem Singh), with no specific/explicit ties to any real-life story or the film referenced for psychological inspiration. Thanks for reading,

OFFICER CLARK: Bank robbery video-games, Dennis?

OFFICER DENNIS: I can sense this serial-killer, his moves, his heart, damn!

OFFICER CLARK: Maybe you're exorcising your own demons here with cyber-chat?

OFFICER DENNIS: That's true, Clark; my dad (Emit)...he's the bleu-cheese psycho.

OFFICER CLARK: What's it?

OFFICER DENNIS: He'd come home drunk and force my mom and me to watch.

OFFICER CLARK: What's it?

OFFICER DENNIS: Watch him eat bleu-cheese...it turned me into Michael Myers!

OFFICER CLARK: What's it?
OFFICER DENNIS: I became the real Michael Myers (Halloween); college-years.

OFFICER CLARK: What's it?

OFFICER DENNIS: Got myself a Myers-like mask; terrorized beautiful women.

OFFICER CLARK: On Halloween, in college.

OFFICER DENNIS: No violence, crime; just spooking them; exorcism for Selfie.

OFFICER CLARK: That's why you became a cop/detective, Dennis?

OFFICER DENNIS: I felt bad...thought about Emit...now I'm playing video-games.

OFFICER CLARK: That's why you can 'sense' this serial-killer.

OFFICER DENNIS: Yes, why he keeps female-victims (alive) locked in closets.

OFFICER CLARK: What's that have to do with bank robbery video-games?

OFFICER DENNIS: Moving in-and-out (of closets); photo-graphics, Clark (wow).

Officer Dennis confided in Officer Clark about his past-life, about 'becoming' Michael Myers, the iconic Halloween-horror film series 'avatar' of eerie stalker-consciousness and chaos of the soul. It's how he 'sensed' the mannerisms of the inner-spirit of this new serial-killer in Chicago they'd been trailing who liked kidnapping female-victims from department store lots and locking them in closets, keeping them alive, before drowning them with water-infusion. Officer Dennis thought about his father (Emit), his stranger view of forced/moved attention exercises, and his 'reactionary' creative-thinking about antisocial imaginations of concept/storytelling, and it's how he 'sensed' this serial-killer (Closet-Man) and why he became a consumerism-culture 'adversary' for arts (wow).

OFFICER CLARK: Tell me more about Emit, Dennis.

OFFICER DENNIS: Thanx for asking, Clark; well it's a pirate-tale for bad memoir.

OFFICER CLARK: What's the 'tune' for Closet-Man.

DENNIS: I suspect he's got a midways-point of victim-transport, a warehouse!

CLARK: That's bright.

DENNIS: It is; and it reminds me why Emit (daddy) took me once to a cemetery.

CLARK: What'd he say?

DENNIS: Never under-value the 'photo-image' of all that's beard, sonny-boy (ha).

CLARK: So, it's made you into a sensitive genius.

DENNIS: Nah, just a video-game psycho, Clark (ha).

CLARK: Weird social media culture extract, Dennis.

DENNIS: Thanx, for that.

Well, Emit's 'bleu-cheese psychosis' proved to be invaluable for the Closet-Man Case (Chicago), and it drew Clark/Dennis to an outskirts-abandoned warehouse where the serial-killer had just brought a new female-victim, kidnapped for a Target-beard, and it got the psycho whose victim-count was now at 20, to a criminal-incarceration center...for life. Facebook comments about bleu-cheese had become a Windy-City 'mainstay' for all that's simply bureaucracy's superstition (sure).

OFFICER DENNIS: Like the cells?

CLOSET-MAN: They gave me photo of antique!

OFFICER DENNIS: Wow, a carousel-treasure for a man who likes treasure.

CLOSET-MAN: You not like me.

DENNIS: Right-o; I don't (truly) like you, Closet-Man.

CLOSET-MAN: I remind you of someone.

DENNIS: Hopefully me (thanx).

CLOSET-MAN: They give me treatment in cell.

DENNIS: Good...take care of that heart...and your horse!

OFFICER CLARK: Do you want to tell me about one of your victims, Dennis?
DENNIS: Yeah, sure; a college-lady, librarian, followed her as Michael Myers (ha).

OFFICER CLARK: The mind is its own place...and in of itself...

DENNIS: Can make Hell out of Heaven (thanx).
