Grifters-Wide

A Story by Abishai100
"

Can grifter-magic yield a special 'light' for eco-capitalism 'chess-stalemate' IQ for a prince of the Homeland (America) who seeks a post-emigration 'hologram' for dough?

A bright adaptation of the themes/storylines of the iconic crime-psyche dialysis masterpiece The Grifters (John Cusack), which I hope you'll like (and thanks for reading!),

MR. AMLAN SATAN: "I'm an Artful-Dodger; upstart-racers (Arklow) is dialysis for Selfie-IQ."



Amlan Satan was a natural grifter, born in the street-smart world of Algiers, politically-challenged, emigrated to the States, learned cognitive-psychology from Dickens and Zinn and Dick Tracy, graduated from the Ivy-League and then made-way for an upstart-racer company (Arklow) in the American South for a co-investment 'wage' with a rumored blood-diamond 'baroness' (who referred to herself incidentally as the Baroness!) for boasting her ('exchanged') treasures for social-media 'hyperbole' to (ultimately) draw some mascara-line (Interpol-relation?) eyes for horse-investment dialysis for Kentucky bourbon/chicken (wow).



BARONESS: You're a grifter...or a prince!
SATAN (Amlan): Seems this wage for Arklow's all-hat for dialysis, co-investment chess.
BARONESS: You can hype my pieces on media for this joint-advertisement, as a smartie?
SATAN: If I turn out to be a traitor, Baroness...we can always 'bail-out' for eco-deeds.
BARONESS: Blood-diamond photo-synthesis ('art' of democracy), eh?
SATAN: Thanx.



What Mr. Satan (Amlan!) didn't figure-out was that he'd meet a Kentucky-lady, lover of Arklow (upstart!) and make-way to get her away from the Baroness, with an efficient-silencer 'deed' waged against a minion of the blood-diamond lady-hawk, someone who followed her into places like Churchill-Downs (for 'bad' Selfie-DNA).



ESMERELDA: This is some 'game' for you, isn't it, Artful Dodger?
SATAN (Amlan): You love me, Ezzy.
ESMERELDA: I remind you of your omens-speech delivery mother from Algeria?
SATAN: What's wrong with that, for a grifter-prince (like me)?
ESMERELDA: I fear the Baroness, Amlan Satan.
SATAN: That's just the trend, Ezzy (please count on the 'art' of dowries).
ESMERELDA: Facebook like?



Ezzy made 'toast' of the micro-miracle (escape!) from the Baroness at that derby-dialysis with a world-exchange 'symbolic' culinary-treat soft/zesty (Indian) luchi-bread thanksgiving-diner plate chat(s); while the bad blood-diamond lady-angel was (suddenly) mired in some (Interpol-relation??) horse-magazine industry conflict-zone gem mining talk for eco-capitalism dialysis.

AMLAN: Bread/fruit, for Arklow's wind.
EZZY: Hand/axes...for what's (purely) document (for all!).



BARONESS: The rascal's a grifter (fine); find him at Royal-Farms or Wawa smoking coffee.
ASSOCIATE: Draw-out 'clean' for gem-dialysis, Baroness...Satan's dogma (Selfie-bound).



SATAN: Post-9/11 era Homeland 'invasion' superstitions always carry-away democrats!
ESMERELDA: Fine...for bureaucracy's darkness (thanx).



This story's a happy-ending, though one short-cut (spiritually?) from the proverbial/prophetic American Dream, for Selfie-bound ghost-magic, for any grifter seeking the ins-and-outs of treasure/insurance materialities, but Satan and Esmerelda made-way to Belgium for a restaurant/magazine (shared) work for our social-media Earthling culture of those pesky 'incomplete-distances' readings for what's (simply) darkness.
