Dark City: Hero-of-Theme

Dark City: Hero-of-Theme

A Story by Abishai100
"

Wonder-rich fiction of incomplete-distances readings to the 'measure' of heroics for engagement(s) with Hell for an urban/capitalism thermal.

"
Dystopian vigilance tale.

Slovak-Algerian good-fellow Amlan Satan thought he had it all, working as a cyber-homeschooling teacher in an Earth city darkened by words of smugglers-roads/controls that spelled real-Hell for insurance exploitations and black market linked crimes of madness/ugliness, and since he appreciated what the American Homeland afforded him post-immigration, he felt moved to move to the city and become a vigilante after reading a Halloween-comic blog about social media commentary about preservation(s) of Earth-realm culture (for the Ego!).



LORD-JIM: Who's this bad clown, associate?
ASSOCIATE: He's taking your motion-gems with acid-guns, Lord.
LORD-JIM: The city's mine...I want his decapitation, associate.
ASSOCIATE: Rumors fly he's to kidnap a football-cheerleader you marked now.
LORD-JIM: The one for my street-gossip 'prophecy' for threats to my Empire?
ASSOCIATE: Empire-co. diamonds are bad-seed gossip now in the streets.
LORD-JIM: So, this mystery-man (if he's one man or two/three), is Robin Hood?
ASSOCIATE: Robin Hood maps are dead, Lord.
LORD-JIM: Seems not so, associate...find out if he's a chemist (HCL-resource).
ASSOCIATE: Cool (Facebook-like).



The dark-city was suddenly seeing lights of Heaven, all thanks to our protagonist 'antihero' prince of smugglers-devastation wonderwall(s)-destroyer, Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian do-gooder, and ex-teacher/vigilante, for a faerie-tale worth its weight in 'silvery' jars of shadows (ha). Satan (Amlan!) started falling for the decoy-damsel he found to make the evil Lord Jim's prestige something of a street-joke (Facebook-like).



SHELBYE O'HARA: Thanx for the gift, Satan.
AMLAN: I feel...better!
SHELBYE O'HARA: Maybe the next Super Bowl (or Euro-exhibit) is cooler, wow.
AMLAN: I'm to the Orange-State, for some peace and love...with you (maybe?).
SHELBYE O'HARA: May be truth...Earth's jardinieres (cool).



Amlan Satan married Shelbye and hoped to host a 'fantastic' Thanksgiving seasons gathering, rich with football-TV and gravy-for-potatoes (ha). Lord Jim was the past...and toys/napkins was the present (wow). After all, time-distance from the arms of Hell would offer an Earth-realm prayer for true things of towns (for all!).
