Misfit ThesaurusA Story by Abishai100A 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!). ![]() "Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about" (Ralph Waldo Emerson). ==== "Money is everything" (Ecclesiastes) © 2025 Abishai100 |
