A Story by Abishai100

Shakespeare-adaptation finds the Devil himself veiled as a merchant in Venice inquiring of a traveler-writer's words/image of politics-sportsmanship 'blending' for Earth realm balances/beams.

"
Adaptation of Merchant of Venice (Shakespeare), for some modern Earth culture significance. Thanks for reading (and enjoy), 
DISCLAIMER: This work of creative adaptation offers no commercial/explicit ties to any person(s)/body (e.g., India-Pakistan cricket sports rivalry) and is cast as purely a 'personal' expression for social art (for 'open' views/translation/critiques).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: For I'd come to the gondola waterland of Venice for bread/fruit!
GONDOLIER: Thou art Slovak-Algerian traveler for photo-synthesis of world fortune image?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: As you see me, boat-man of Venice; it's as is for truth of tourists (ha).
GONDOLIER: You pen something in that tiny journal for your Earth, good-fellow (now)?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Perchance I make for my Selfie age of incomplete-arts of intelligence.
GONDOLIER: Earth's jar...for Venice then (Selfie-like!).



LUCIFER (The Devil): "Had I not betrayed that self-poised master-Creator ('God') to find Earth realm banks of examination and now court my own brain-malaise of personal angst-of-debt for lagging in a precocious lancet-application for manmade bureaucracy-arts of aimless activity requiring a more loan-shark 'method' of God's paradise-creation critique for the Ego in this new time of Selfie nets cyber jellybean (Facebook-like)?"



For what intrigue the Devil did cook-up a schematic for examination(s) comprises the 'gist' of this play-tale of manmade bureaucracy-arts defense of new Earth Selfie culture. Lucifer did disguise himself (now!) as a Venice-merchant, named Shylock, traveling on boat in that water-world. Lucifer ('Shylock') had resolved to pursue his (endless?) challenge of God's creation of Earth/dominion and pursued our protagonist hero-prince sports/politics writer, Mr. Amlan Satan (Slovak-Algerian tourist and cricket sports superstitions writer for Selfie-sanity and storytell).



AMLAN SATAN: What manner of inquisitiveness you bring to me with you?
SATAN/SHYLOCK: Nothing for but interest in those handy cricket-cards you keep in pocket.
SATAN: You spy.
SHYLOCK: You're a politics writer, good man?
SATAN: You read my cyber-writes (in Venice) and hop onto my gondola now.
SHYLOCK: Ha, for art's sake, Earthling (ha).
SATAN: Well...I'm resolved to make Earth travel eyes softened cricket-politics word.
SHYLOCK: Word?
SATAN: India-Pakistan cricket rivalry for the World Cup may speak a volume (or two).
SHYLOCK: Two?
SATAN: The partition of India-Pakistan during the revolution (UK) concerned sport, no?
SHYLOCK: No?
SATAN: Why you seek (personals) thermal for economics of word, Shylock you Devil?
SHYLOCK: I'm not the Devil but merely inquire of your ledger(s) of shape, traveler (ha).
SATAN: Facebook-like (for the Ego?).



Friends, the Devil ('Shylock') had resolved to make a Venice-gondola trial-chat with our protagonist, Mr. Amlan Satan, who had resolved himself to make shape-glass 'consciousness' for analogy of world-nations splits/controversy to a natural sport-cricket bat and ball and fields trophy intuition for things of great Summer seasons sustenance invocation of politics bled into an Earthling plate-of-jellyfish (wow!). 'Shylock' did insist our protagonist Satan (Amlan!) resolve to answer the riddle, "Was bread/fruit of politics laid-out for the hospitality line of competition's field-vanity of cricket-peace merely for a debt-dilution of the heart?" What do you think (for the Ego)?



SHYLOCK: There stands a beauty in the Summer-Sun for an Earthling voice.
SATAN: Copyright for a mod-photo man's sense of incomplete-plagiarism fear(s).
SHYLOCK: You speak with a politics-invocative craftsman-brain for Romanticism, ha.
SATAN: The patterns may be are resolved for good...my cricket-card is sovereignty-themed.
SHYLOCK: So, the Earth gondola man conceives of India-Pakistan sport as remedy for Hell?
SATAN: Is that not the riddle of the network, Shylock you Devil...for Earth's juice?
SHYLOCK: Selfie-like!



The Devil, or Shylock, did decide in finality, to depart from the presence of our fair protagonist, Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian traveler of Venice-gondola waters for writer's blocks, after having been satiated that he'd interrogated an Earthling for his acumen and debt-ledger IQ for those 'pesky' incomplete-arts of things of politics partition, manmade class, cricket-sport jars, and perhaps romance-linked 'peace' treasures of the heart for leviathan/uncertainty. Perchance you, reader of Earth, may be find some juicy-jewel word (or two!) to the riddle, "Was Satan-v-Satan a case of Venice jellybeans for sovereignty's shockwaves in Paradise?"
