A Story by Abishai100
"

A trio of iconic if 'prototype' Americans (in Nevada) negotiate things of emotion, work-compatibility, dreams, and their (shared) land of chance.

"
Adaptation-fanfiction of a great (if somewhat under-valued) American gem/film, The Misfits (John Huston).

AMLAN: I'm just a fellow in dust-mask who whispers to horses in Nevada, America.
ROSLYN: You're odd but I like your sensitivity; as a widow, I feel jaded by Gay.
AMLAN: Gay's a 'classic' American, rancher, wealth-man, with his ideas for profit.
ROSLYN: Can't decide if he's my post-trauma beau or just a vampire in wool, love.
AMLAN: Maybe you waste time with me here for my view to free a stallion, ha.
ROSLYN: Gay wants to sell the creatures for dog food and retirement money!
AMLAN: You got here with a post-trauma view for finding an American dream, hon.
ROSLYN: You're quite a face for environment-pensiveness for the bloody heart.
AMLAN: Just a misfit (like you!).



GAY: Amlan's a homosexual.
ROSLYN: What?
GAY: You're too close to that misfit; we' need to build our Nevada plan (now).
ROSLYN: Selling horses for profit when we can sell the ranch is bad move, love.
GAY: I thought you found me a gristly-sort for post-trauma Revelation, Roslyn.
ROSLYN: Look what Amlan doodles in my honor, Gay (ha).
GAY: A pencil-sketch of a comic lady angel for your return to my home-sanity, no?
ROSLYN: Maybe...this Nevada ranch-outlook grounding among friends is yours too.
GAY: You think about it...while I admire your pencil-doodle gifted by Amlan.
ROSLYN: Oh, you're cute (it's all American fiction).



GAY: Roslyn means my world.
AMLAN: I'm thinkin' you mean to say she's a misfit (like you?).
GAY: This ranch was everything, Amlan...I don't want you to swim with Roslyn.
AMLAN: Isn't that American...negotiated work for human friendship?
GAY: I plan to drive-off with Roslyn thinkin' her cowgirl-outlook was right-stuff!
AMLAN: That's cool, Gay...maybe she's your damsel (or somethin').
GAY: Something always comes to resolutions in American (Nevada?) jars, Amlan.
AMLAN: Maybe (that's cool!).



ROSLYN: You're like a character from a novel about grumpy American male image.
GAY: You love me and stewing on it now, Roslyn cowgirl (ha).
ROSLYN: I heard, from Amlan...you let a horse free into the wild, liberty-gift.
GAY: I thought about you, not Amlan, love.
ROSLYN: Oh, I know that, Gay my dear...your white-beard invokes the lady brain.
GAY: Well, maybe I'm a jaded sort like you and Amlan's got us kickin' to inceptions.
ROSLYN: Nevada's jars...an American blood, simple.
GAY: We're not misfits; we're simply tuning-out the Earthling water for good-art.
ROSLYN: Thanx.



Our 'team' of American ranch misfits, Gay and Roslyn and Amlan, were fine-folks; and though Amlan was most the outsider with his predetermined-focus for simple-focus on the creatures of Nevada-land, he stirred the sinews of brain of his two cohorts who'd been courting/negotiating the tender bloody fibers of emotion and romance too while finding bridges to compromise given their somewhat-opposing (or jagged!) natures. For these misfits, wrought distances to land and personals outcomes for an American dream (simply) translated to what was Revelation in everyday work/language/mortality (for fiction!).
