A man makes Selfie-discovery of linked American magic/culture and sports/capitalism 'echelons' for office-space field depth.

Sports environment fable, featuring one of my own sports trading cards (NFL). Thanks so much for reading (Happy Saturday),

READER: Had you ever been to Dallas, pal?
ME: You don't have to be a Texan to be a fan of Rangers baseball, reader (no).
READER: What's this collection of sports video-games and trading cards, pal?
ME: There's something in my collection of 'toys' for American culture; truth.
READER: What's truth?
ME: I dunno...there's something in it that would bring a Martian's envy/eye.
READER: What?
ME: My 'toys' (me thinks) illuminate something about Earth realm shake/glitter.
READER: How's it?
ME: Let me take journal notes and get back to you...with my story, reader.
READER: Truth (Facebook-like).



STORY_EXCERPT: "The American prince, Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Catholic immigrant/citizen and collector of 'fantastic' baseball video-games and football trading cards (NFL), had become something like a haunted man when a Martian woman from the dark side of the universe, the self-named 'Leviathan' (term-reference to chameleon-creature of metaphysical chaos!), claimed she needed to see him be diligent-enough to write a magical/fiction-account of his toys to create a 'purer' Earthling image of capitalist treasure insurance (for her Ego!)."



LEVIATHAN: Good tale in deed, mister prince of Earth (farewell).
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Why this Martian matrix spy-eye for human world activity?
LEVIATHAN: I'm chaos consciousness and made this game-test for capitalism-IQ.
MR. AMLAN SATAN: What if I didn't catch the magic, Leviathan?
LEVIATHAN: I would've destroyed your puny-planet (farewell).
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Facebook-like.



My 'ghost-magic' tale of an American prince ('Mr. Amlan Satan') put-to-test by a Martian creature-woman named Leviathan was a big-hit and won the Pulitzer (damn). When I went back to work the next week, I knew I was something of a culture-celeb, since I had (miraculously) translated capitalism treasure 'feelings' into a metaphysics/alien 'contact' tale worth its weight in American office/trade triangle chat(s). I felt...American.
