Se7en-Faeries

A Story by Abishai100

Portrait of dark-crime 'linked' with metaphysics-alienation in the Homeland (American) city requiring a (special) reading for certain pedestrian/philosophical daylight.

A dark crime-vignette much-inspired by the American late 20th-Century 'deformity-psyche' masterpiece film-noir, Se7en (David Fincher), which I hope you'll like,

AMLAN: This John-Doe 'faerie-message' case has me feeling the willies for chess, pal.

RAKI: We're the ideal American Homeland city-detectives for the assignment, Amlan.

AMLAN: I'm the more seasoned homicide-detective, and this serial-case is anti-religion!

RAKI: You're coming unbound, when it's expected for me to be the younger/floater, man.

AMLAN: I'm not doubting it, but a serialist who uses faerie-disbelief as motive is Hell.

RAKI: We do know John Doe may be Christian with a special IQ for anti-mysticism.

AMLAN: We also know his victims are forced to 'confess' they don't believe in faeries.

RAKI: Perchance a reference to the work of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, pal?

AMLAN: The Coming of the Faeries...an American Homeland city yarn-for-diet (sure).

Raki started-out in the very-same city as an idealist-rookie cop as Amlan did, and Amlan had become a 4-year veteran in the world of dark-crimes by then, and when they'd been assigned to the hideous case of a mystery-man serial-killer who was given the alias 'John Doe' (for bureaucracy-readings), the teammates knew their acumen for metaphysics would come in handy-dandy tune, since the serialist had this hideous pattern of leaving notes behind reading insidious things like, "Corrupt official, had to cut his wrist, post-confession that he'd never (ever) be able to persuade or compel a flying-faerie (tiny-winged humanoids of the forest with religious density!) to become his 'bread' friend for diet, given his outright disregard for city-bureaucracy readings for incomplete-distances to (actual) leviathan." Amlan began posting statements on social-media reflecting a Homeland pop-interest in the 'face-access' psyche of crime-problems examination for 'worldly' distance(s).

JOHN DOE: Thanx for engaging with me online, detectives.

AMLAN/RAKI: You mean to persecute the city with a 'faerie tale' for disbelief/doubt.

JOHN DOE: In deed...my victims are emissaries of what's lost in the Earth...bureaucracy.

AMLAN/RAKI: Look, we're not intrigued by your 'love' of Melville or Wharton, for chess.

JOHN DOE: Note how our victims have wrist-hand symbolism for loss-of-grasp, detectives!

AMLAN/RAKI: We respect that, John, but loss of 'grip' seems a message of drowning, ok.

JOHN DOE: Perchance that's why you can't (actually) 'catch' the likes of me, detectives.

AMLAN/RAKI: Wow (Facebook like).

John Doe had become a 'cool-cat' narcissistic serialist of hideous proportion(s) and darkness, even for Amlan/Raki, our two protagonist hero 'princes' of crime-problematics in the Homeland of Earth (wow). Why'd he insist that city-citizenry would need 'faerie tales' for wrought muscularity in social network vitality for energizer-IQ? Was it because the light/theosophy behind faerie-existence, their cryptic/unusual form for life, required a special 'incomplete-distances' reading for transit/traffic superstitions and flares for personality (or 'confidence')?

AMLAN: This guy's gonna be lurking in the city carnival this summer, pal.

RAKI: I concur, detective; perchance he'll be recognizable as a man of eerie hatted-focus!

AMLAN: Surely potential, Raki; we'll look for a social-media unfriendly 'face' of dullness.

RAKI: Cool (ok).

They guessed right. Amlan and Raki spotted a stranger character wandering around, in hat-and-beard, with a visage of city-dwelling that gave a stranger 'aura' of unfriendly hospitality-readings and some pensive density-expression in the face of an alienist wandering around the carnival/circus 'environment' like a soul possessed by the leering note that metaphysics for the American 'consumer' was simply an idle-randomized 'thing' of (incomplete) drowning...even for artists!

Amlan made 'toast' of the micro-celeb miracle of the capture/incarceration of 'John Doe' (real-name: unknown) with a world-exchange 'reflection' culinary-treat soft/zesty (Indian) luchi-bread thanksgiving-diner plate chat(s) to recount the double-density of John's arrest and eventual/unanticipated cell-suicide for a hospitality-reading of an American Tragedy of flare and fiction. Was this simply bad bread/fruit, and would Amlan be inspired to adapt this dark and eerie 'disorientation' into a Pulitzer-caliber novel (for nationalized 'definition')...perhaps (appropriately!) titled Faerie-Tale: Dodecahedron?
