A Story by Abishai100
"

American fan's very-special trading-card ('culturally-insured') treasure may offer some Earthling 'expression' of things of football fanfare 'linked' eccentricity.

Mr. Amlan Satan knew his special Thanksgiving-football TV festivities culture in the Western world (American Homeland) cast his awesome Score NFL trading-cards 'trophy' (a running-back athlete card featuring stats-line of an immaculate/celeb star of undeniable greatness/record) as an Earth realm treasure of superstitions/competition 'superstition' jar of theater (Selfie-like).



Blogging at his American Homeland-Jersey prototype suburbia town (Echelon) home in the year-'25, Mr. Satan (Amlan!), Slovak-Algerian immigrant/citizen/Catholic fan and writer of football 'things' of jars for superstition/sportsmanship/competition, knew his Detroit-city RB-Score card of great value/jellybeans made him something of a Western 'diplomat' for what had made football culture (e.g., Super Bowl TV-ads) the 'stuff' of home-life fanfare ABCD for storytelling (ok).



READER: '89 was an intrigue-year in football; the Rams of Cali streaked with stats.
SATAN: That's truth; and though Rams' QB prodigy (Jim Everett) was halted, it's IQ.
READER: Rams downed the power Phil Simms (QB) marshaled Giants of NY in '89.
SATAN: My '89-year marked rookie-RB Score-Detroit city 'trophy' is (all) American!
READER: It's got great value, Mister Fan...something of a shade for jellybeans, ok.
SATAN: I wonder if the card-keep in my USA-town (Echelon) makes for life-luck!
READER: Ha, you walk to the grocer and find a winning lottery ticket, sure.
SATAN: That's the mark of marketing for making money magic for mysteries, no?
READER: It's an American class (Facebook-like)...good luck, fan (Selfie-like).



Amlan Satan's girlfriend, Shelbye O'Hara, a magazine-writer in NY, knew his trophy-possession 'linked' Earthling luck for fortune/outcomes required him to appreciate why acquisition of special/magical/valued American NFL trading-cards, particularly those of Thanksgiving-football TV culture 'reflection' like Satan's RB-Scare treasure (insured!) made an American/fan/patriot something of a jellyfish for diplomacy (for the Ego).

SHELBYE: A new femme's entered our magazine-office in NY, competitor!
SATAN: You could lose-out your high-position to this lady-challenger, eh?
SHELBYE: Any given Sunday finds capitalism-corporate deciding on profit by TV.
SATAN: Sports/trends viewed on TV for Sunday does affect the capitalist mind, ok.
SHELBYE: I'm a little jittery this Sunday, darling (damn).
SATAN: Why don't you flash my card at-office on Monday; you can borrow it?
SHELBYE: You think it'll up my social media prestige/affability-visage?
SATAN: It might bring you some 'thesaurus' luck for office-chat (or gossip), darling.
SHELBYE: Maybe your Thanksgiving-IQ card shall make for 'art' for me on Monday.
SATAN: Good luck...Facebook-like (for American lady-PhD).
