The Shadow: American Toxic

A man too-immersed in video-game shadow-combat avatar 'stuff' may feel himself become possessed by a (synthetic?) spirit of a dominion-watch.

Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Bostonian-Homeland Catholic immigrant/citizen/gamer, had found bound-Rationalism for casting a special shadow-avatar warrior from Mortal Kombat video-games, Noob Saibot, as a special darkness-psyche reading of human psychology of shadows-perceptions, reflective of reflex, personage-composure, presence swiftness, and alter-ego warrior-code intuition for ideas concerning his Selfie culture/age of social contact 'linked' Earth realm drawing of friendship...and paranoia (Facebook-like).

PSYCHIATRIST: You just play video-games too much is all!

MR. SATAN: Well, doc...that's been truth since I was a boy, but now it's more!

PSYCHIATRIST: Your fascination with shadowy-combat freely draws in acting-out!

MR. SATAN: Maybe I'm just feeling haunted by sunlight made silhouette of Hell!

PSYCHIATRIST: Video-game obsession is synthetics; and shadow-combat is jitters!

MR. SATAN: I've thought so much about Noob-Saibot that I can 'sense' his shadow!

PSYCHIATRIST: Light hits the body, shadows are made, and we envision deformity!

MR. SATAN: I'm to have a dream-scape vision very soon about this shadow warrior!

PSYCHIATRIST: Good luck, Satan!

Amlan Satan's premonition proved-true; for he had a dream-sleep vision in which he envisioned he'd become Noob Saibot, the lethal ninja-combat warrior from Mortal Kombat video-games; and he saw himself striking at furious challengers with an 'energized' shadow-silhouette alter-ego of great deadly combat skill and half-invisible mobility, making himself a real 'terrorist' for things of defense (damn). He was right to confide (all!) this to his shrink in Boston (New England).

WIFE: You need chicken-pie and not just Mortal Kombat.

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.

WIFE: You're not Noob-Saibot, hubby (damn).

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.

WIFE: Dreaming you're in the shadows of fighting draws in the Devil, man.

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.

WIFE: Your psychiatrist warned you'd start to think in-shadows, hubby.

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.

WIFE: At least you're not like obsessed with something like Bloody Murder.

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.

WIFE: You sound weird...like you're possessed by a hosting ghost (Selfie-like).

MR. SATAN: Thanx, love.
