Mr. Amlan Satan had visited the Orange-State before, but as a teenager, when his high-school group flew to the area for his school-trip one glorious Spring-season. Now, as an adult, he found himself there (once-more) as a traveling sports-cards collector and writer of things of his Selfie age of fanfare/media 'linked' superstitions for networks and competition adjective cleats (e.g., Super Bowl TV-ad jewelry).



A Slovak-Algerian Catholic and immigrant/citizen of the American Homeland, Mr. Satan (Amlan) had found special memoir of his '90s-boyhood years football fanfare for TV-commentary, when that era's Miami Dolphins shined quite-nicely in their AFC thanks to the quick-gun streaking pass acumen of Hall of Fame caliber American QB Dan Marino. That memoir was of course his fave QB-card of the 'fantastic' Earthling athlete/star, which he now carried to Miami, the Orange-State of Florida, to his Wingate hotel 'hostel-station' for cards/superstitions writing and perhaps Selfie-memory qualia of what made Earthling competition purely...jewelry (for leviathan/uncertainty).



WAITRESS: Get rid of the trophy and replace it with a finer modern thing, love!
AMLAN: What's it?
WAITRESS: You strike me as an Earthling set-in to Miami, Orange-State, but not!
AMLAN: I guess I've been here before and find return-shade for football qualia.
WAITRESS: Get a better/modern card, for your writing; change of shade, love.
AMLAN: You got me thinking now...about change...for jitters (geez).
WAITRESS: Miami's jewelry.



Some years later, Mr. Satan (Amlan) found himself older/wiser, remembering-back to that hostel/hotel season visiting the Miami-city (Orange State) where writing about his 'fantastic' Dan Marino 'trophy' (after having decided not to take the advice of that Florida-waitress who simply/quietly dared him to trade the 'classic' '90s-era American football-QB card for a modern NFL treasure for writing) drew in him very-special long term Selfie age 'things' of a fan's quiet-American jewelry (ha). Why did he keep that Marino-card memoir of boyhood-fanfare TV things? Amlan enjoyed writing about it and hence not trading it for something more 'modern' for change-of-superstition. That had become his micro-tale of incomplete-arts of fanfare jewelry...for Earthling changes.
