Galatea

A Story by Abishai100

An offbeat spin on the old mythology of a muse made in art and creating life-views on the quality of Romanticism's (special) direction.

An inventive spin on the old-myth of Galatea. Thanks for reading (and Happy V-Day!),

Amlan Satan thought about a special gift he received from a Chinese wizard which gave him the unbelievable power of irresistibility, making him liberally attractive to any woman he met while he was on a college-exchange travel to SoCal, and he regretted the gift, because he realized he had become his own curse, because it honestly made him feel dishonest about what women would actually/honestly feel like they were attracted to him for, personally. When he returned from his SoCal exchange-time, he decided to become a born-again Catholic, making Romanticism comments for social-media culture for nerdists invested in the lifestyle-readings of everyday bureaucracy superstitions (wow).

AMLAN: I decided to make varied portraits of female angels or muses for lycanthropy, since I'd been convinced I became a werewolf out there in the West, during my college-years, and after my 20th or so rendering in art(s), I realized the artwork was talking-back to me, whispering to me that she was Galatea herself, that ancient mythical woman who came-alive to her artist-creator-sculptor to offer a special life-lesson about incomplete-distances to superstition intelligence, and I didn't know what to do but to praise the quality of art itself (for personal and social consciousness!).

GALATEA: Let's go to the mall in your town.

AMLAN: Why, Galatea?

GALATEA: I know you think you had become a special 'magician' for false-love!

AMLAN: Why'd a mall-walk help my condition of religious regret, Galatea?

GALATEA: It's obvious, Amlan Satan; you'll find traffic for consumerism IQ.

AMLAN: Shopping.

GALATEA: That's right, buddy; you'll make for discovery in simplified ambitions.

AMLAN: Hey, that's kind of nifty and clever...like toys and scarves, ok.

GALATEA: You can't buy love; I wanted to offer you that insight...about Realism!

AMLAN: Well, looks like the wizard's become the penitent student of capitalism!

GALATEA: Sounds like an actual photo-synthesis 'mark' for literacy or vanity.

AMLAN: I'd have to agree, Galatea (thanx).

Well, it seems this faerie-tale of self-made education for life for a Homeland American prince, Mr. Amlan Satan, offers a special image for transit superstitions and the magic of exchanges between human beings for wrought lessons in mentalism, something quite useful for the new Earth-age worries in everyday street-crossings destabilization. Perhaps Galatea's given everyone a fresh-sense of medicine for the dark-waves of (manmade) disasters!
