"Mr. Amlan Satan had continued his special Florida-state examination of the mysterious Fountain of Youth (fabled water affording drinkers youth/immortality) after inspired at a hotel-lounge thinking of the Earth-realm fascination with vitality/nutrition in a mod-planet of nutrition-language for the Ego. Well, he had conversed with varied members of Orange-State population and wondered what his Selfie-IQ would reveal for a body-of-water linked to some jar of Heaven/Hell (Facebook-like!)."

PARK RANGER: Well, we think that New World explorer was quite vain, Satan.

AMLAN: Well, I do know from my studies that Fountain of Youth image is Earth!

PARK RANGER: Well, we think Florida-state waters are marked now for eco-art.

AMLAN: Ha, yes, modern Earth is all about eco-modesty and nature-conserve.

PARK RANGER: That's why you strike me as an eccentric/idealist...no jewelry.

AMLAN: I shall find this Fountain of Youth water in our Orange-State, sir (damn).

PARK RANGER: I guess you've been taking samples from lakes/streams now, ok.

AMLAN: When I find the right-stuff water-magic, I'll know it, sir...Facebook-like.

PARK RANGER: Well, I guess you're that idealist who'll divide crazy from care.

AMLAN: That's the magician-promise, sir...Orange-State hockey (Selfie-like!).

"Mr. Satan had taken varied samples of varied waters from Florida, thinking that one special magical lake or stream or swamp-hidden paradise of hydration would be holding that spirit-chemical that would afford any drinker eternal-youth and immortality-consciousness for the Ego. Amlan thought about his boyhood-years of Super Bowl predictions and adult-life fanfare for Florida ice-hockey jewelry and why/how the Fountain of Youth had become Earthling-record for things of exploration/experiment muscle-funnies (for all!)."

WAITRESS: Welcome back, explorer Satan.

AMLAN: Well, I have several vials of hydration-liquid from our Orange-State, ok!

WAITRESS: You remember my tell of my departed girlfriend, buried in tragedy.

AMLAN: I promised you I'd find this Fountain of Youth and offer magic for her.

WAITRESS: You said you'd take me to her tombstone with splash-prayers for art.

AMLAN: Maybe one of my vials has some magic-water from that Fountain now?

WAITRESS: Why should I believe you?

AMLAN: I encountered a swamp-stream wanderer and had to defend myself, ha.

WAITRESS: You used your Holy Water and said a prayer for explorers, you?
AMLAN: I did, and the wanderer departed from sight; I felt safe to get water.

WAITRESS: Maybe that special-water you got for that special vial is the thing.

AMLAN: Well, I guess I can cash-in and take you to your girlfriend's tombstone.

WAITRESS< What prayer you would offer, Satan?

AMLAN: "Quest lasts; but this vial wrought for me may resurrect a friend."

WAITRESS: That's cool...complete your quest, Satan (Facebook-like).
