Hostage: Earthling Cornertext (Part-2)

A world leaping gems-daredevil is caged by a snow-cabin witch of dark-IQ and must require a wrestle-know ingenuity for escape from vanity.

Well, Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian gems-work hero-man in a time of great capitalism superstition, had never anticipated being taken as hostage in a snow-cabin area in the Western world and prepped his 'cool' mind to prepare for his thumb-wrestling Selfie-poise 'chemical' reaction to the evil young witch who forced him to sit through (tied!) her bedtime stories of capitalism-frailty challenge for appropriate brain-reflex to warrant his pardon from bloody-murder (ok). This was not Facebook-like.

ESMERELDA: I've read multiple tales to you, and we've begun our contest, man.

MR. SATAN: As you noted, my thumb-wrestling reaction to your art is cool.

ESMERELDA: You've managed to pare and pair my stories with finger-knot ok.

MR. SATAN: I had explained my proposal for emotive-charades of thumbs is IQ!

ESMERELDA: You ain't out of the woods yet, fool (ha).

MR. SATAN: Well, so far, our thumb-wrestling post-story schedule is good, witch.

ESMERELDA: Selfie-like (for Heaven/Hell).

Amlan had found some nifty Selfie-wit(s) when Esmerelda, the hostage-taking young witch in that snow-cabin area that detoured his retreat-view, proposed she'd be reading nightly tales of capitalism frailty to measure Mr. Satan's intelligence for response for pardon from death by her evil hands. This proposal to use her cabin thumb-wrestling game-kit someone 'gifted' her for post-read contests of figurative charades for creative story-absorption energization consciousness seemed to catch her eye-and-mind for Earthling things of knot(s)...Selfie-like.

ESMERELDA: We're about halfways through Winter, man.

MR. SATAN: So far, we've seemed to make 'cool' balance score for thumbs, witch!

ESMERELDA: I'll concede...thus far...that you've kept adequacy in poise, fool.

MR. SATAN: In this case, I'd have to make a 'wage' I need only half-a-distance.

ESMERELDA: Should you succumb, to any 'gibberish' (of knits)...I'll eat you, man.

MR. SATAN: I doubt it not, for capitalism's cornertext (ok).
