Mr. Amlan Satan knew now that he'd just one portion-left for this special crafty thumb-wrestling post-stories night contest with his hostage-taking evil witch in the snow cabin area that was at-first to be simply his retreat from his overground intelligence-heroics world of gems-insurance capitalism heists for super-vision of smugglers-roads know (for doubt). He knew Esmerelda, the young attractive (but villainous!) witch who'd taken him hostage, anticipated an excellence for that last-portion of the thumb-wrestling activity to complement her nightly-read of capitalism frailty 'jitters' tales for social media culture antagonism (Facebook-like!).

ESMERELDA: You're doing (rather) alright, but it's now end-game, man.

MR. SATAN: You praised my 'James Bond' deeds, and now I'm cabin-bound, ok.

ESMERELDA: You did mighty-rightly for the 1st-two portions with your promises.

MR. SATAN: Well, this snow-cabin 'wind' now has only an end-portion to see IQ.

ESMERELDA: Well, I've found some nifty thumb-games tie-score fun with you, ok.

MR. SATAN: I'll keep Selfie-poise (then) for this end-game snow-cabin dare, witch!

ESMERELDA: Good (Facebook-like).

On the last night of capitalism-frailty storytell, Esmerelda demanded Amlan and she play about a simple (final!) best-of-3 thumb-wrestle games with the toy-kit someone 'gifted' her (that Amlan spotted in the cabin while hostage in Hell!). Amlan lost the 1st-game but then won the next-2, using a simple trick he learned as a boy/lad to overcome the fury-strength of any contender who'd insist simple cute-calm wasn't enough to overcome prowess for angst (ha). Esmerelda then demanded what Amlan would think of to exit her cabin...like a gentleman (Selfie-like).

ESMERELDA: You're free to go, fool (damn).

MR. SATAN: Perhaps I'll marry and have a son and play thumb-wrestling with him!

ESMERELDA: Keep this snow-cabin 'miracle' a (dark) secret, Earth man.

MR. SATAN: Cornertext...for our world juror (farewell, witch).
