"Friends, I'd become a nature-grifter after honing my skills as a pickpocket in the streets of troubles-history Algiers and receiving dark and sharp but profitable wisdom-cleats from my omens-linguistic beloved mum (Nina) who reminded me that on an Earth where a literary figure like Artful Dodger could/would be construed as survivalism-vain, things of new-Earth age Selfie-lifestyle for fortune, risk, investment, and 'alternative' (grifters) intelligence would be (simplified) adaptations (for the Ego). Follow along, in my special (buried!) time-capsule story-tell about the mediation-jar 'image' of the lost art of the nature-grifter (Selfie-like)."



DANICA (Girlfriend): Baron Ion suspects your upstart-racer company (Arklow) is IQ.
MR. AMLAN SATAN (Me): I've sold him on the image of a Slovak-Algerian by wit(s).
DANICA: You co-invest in Kentucky horse-carousel for gems-motions for ads, pal.
SATAN: I didn't lie about being a Slovak-Algerian immigrant/citizen/Catholic, doll.
DANICA: Baron Ion thinks I'm his doll, Mister Artful (hmmm).
SATAN: You convince him to accept my gems for his while we co-invest (Arklow).
DANICA: All this street-man and baron Kentucky money draws Interpol-eye?
SATAN: His gems are African and warlord-exploits; there's talk of Palestine (even).
DANICA: You are a grifter (Facebook-like).
SATAN: We'll co-own a Brussels waffle-dive post-deed work, doll (you and I).
DANICA: That's what your omen-talks mom would say, eh?
SATAN: Nina was a grifter-colorist (Facebook-like)...you're my Rapunzel (ok!).



"Of course, out-matching the ruthless gems-baron in Kentucky for a horse-carousel investment 'game' to draw his smugglers-axes to Interpol-eye would not only require bound-Romanticism to draw-away darling-Danica post-work of gems-hyperbole for social media chatter/gossip but swift action to make the entire Kentucky ale seem like a 'cool' social-media ad worth its weight in 'silvery' doubt-jewelry for leviathan/uncertainty (Facebook-like)."



BARON ION: I know of the 'troubles' of man, associate.
ASSOCIATE: This man, Mr. Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian, like world news talkies.
BARON ION: Maybe he was a fan of detective pulp, so?
ASSOCIATE: All this social 'overground' chat about streets-sharpness for gems, sir?
BARON ION: Apparently, this prince-fellow likes media-art for journalism-petrol.
ASSOCIATE: He's a real immigrant, American, pursuer of street-dreams of news.
BARON ION: Then, he'll add to my Kentucky-aura of things of news-lozenges.
ASSOCIATE: Facebook-like (for leviathan/uncertainty).



DANICA: I got you a Miroslav Satan (ice-hockey) trading-card, fool.
MR. AMLAN SATAN (Me): I got you fast-food chicken (ha).
DANICA: When to fly to Brussels, dear?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: When Interpol-eye energy lands in Kentucky, Rapunzel.
DANICA: This is dangerous (Selfie-like).
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Maybe it's shining-justice (Facebook-like).



"May be that you wonder if Danica and I made it (all the way) to Brussels? Sure, we did...and I owe all my wit(s) to mother-Nina who gave me the brains and non-brawn maneuverability to make nature-grifter 'mediation-hyperbole' a thing of capitalism storytelling (for doubt). My upstart-racer company (Arklow) ended up becoming a million-dollar wire...and I proposed to wed Danica (my Rapunzel). Maybe capitalism can be 'wonderwalls'...which is what this (buried!) time-capsule story-retell shall reveal, to a future-Earth archaeologist discovering why my Selfie age culture is something of a (simplified)...willow (Facebook-like)."
