Stranger {Chapter 4}

Vertigo multi-portion fanfic of the searing portraits-series of masked/wiry home-invasion eeriness on Earth.

The Strangers adaptation/fanfiction work, in multiple parts (Chs 1-6) with some tic-tac-toe allusion/fun/darkness. Thanks so much for reading (Happy Weekend),

Well, it was now close to midnight in the suburbia area where Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Catholic cyber-teacher of tic-tac-toe game boards of diagrams of continuity-contest symmetry/angle, was being disoriented by a masked Selfie-titled 'Stranger' woman who continued to peer into his haven-window while the police insisted it was just a Halloween-season cyber-teacher mark prank for simple pillows of harmless keratin for the Ego (wow).

POLICE: Sir, your phone thing continues while we prep seriously for Oct.-30, ok?

AMLAN: This ring of yours for Devil's Night (Oct.-30) is serious, ok, but so am I.

POLICE: Look, Satan...we understand your concern for masked weirdness, ok?

AMLAN: This woman masked continues to linger, and it's midnight in America.

POLICE: Maybe she's looking to see who's gonna go to sleep first, haha.

AMLAN: It won't be me, sir...I know she's marked my tic-tac-toe lessons for dark.

POLICE: Dark (Selfie-like)?

Amlan wondered what to do after the masked Stranger had splashed some mystery red-liquid on her window of her suburbia-home in the American Homeland as midnight had come. He already shot a flare outside his home after running outside (briefly) to warn the neighbors in his area. The woman did not leave and forced Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian, to come up with some better-theory about her agenda, motive, interest, insanity, mystery, and apparent evil (Facebook-like).

AMLAN: "Note-to-self...I'm thinking this might be some endurance or patience examination of Hell and guessing the 'Stranger' wants to see what a tic-tac-toe teacher would do if an invader of the home continues to linger-around (masked!) to determine the teacher's linearity of thought or efficiency of Selfie-humor (ok)...but I can't just sit inside her like a turkey while she peers into my window all night long with this tic-tac-toe cyber-lesson inspired 'thing' she's doing the police keep insisting is some school-house Halloween prank of completely harmless 'eye-hole' language...so I've resolved to try to threaten her with my flare-gun and continue to eat buttered bread pieces (aha, Hansel and Gretel)."
