AMLAN: We'll compete for the affections of our writer-home visiting maid now.

RAKI: I concur, pal...that we're (equally) invested in what makes Ezzy darling.

AMLAN: We'll see who she thinks is the greater owner-candidate of said-treasure.

RAKI: This Fran Tarkenton Vikings football trading-card has print of culture-arts.

AMLAN: We'll both write about the player and the card and ask her to be judge.

RAKI: May the better writer end up being the family-man, my rival friend, ha.

AMLAN: Hey, we're both from Dartmouth (Facebook-like!).

Of course, Tarkenton had become a nationally acclaimed records-maker for things of Hall of Fame storytelling and sports (American football!) shine for praise and writing; and Amlan and Raki, rivals from Dartmouth, found equal Romanticism-interest in their visiting housekeeper-angel ('Ezzy') who visited on Saturday AMs to clean-up their shared male writer-studio haven home in a suburbia paradise called Echelon (Homeland-Jersey). Ezzy now had to sift through memories of romance-calls from both writing-gents and determine whose Tarkenton football/card writing was superior to accept a courtship offer for New Year's Eve, as the trio (equally) cheered things of Autumn-'25 NFL teams/towns things of games and TV (Facebook-like!).

AMLAN's STORY EXCERPT:

"The prince of Boston had found distance-cheers for Vikings-lore and thought his Tarkenton magic-treasure (card) was something simply more...and when he boasted the item to his lovely-angel maid, who visited his home on Saturdays in the American Homeland, she wondered what (other) fortunes the prince possessed to make her Earthling-life something more of a braid (for know)."

RAKI's STORY EXCERPT:

"The Wall-St. investor man had exceeded his birth-origin to become a 'prince' of the American Dream and didn't need royals-frill(s) to make the boast of his fantastic-card (Fran Tarkenton) look and feel and seem like something the angel-maid of his romance-agenda would toast for a shared home of American culture treasures of the know-variety...and when the maid of his desire beheld the cool charm, it was as if she envisioned her departed-mummy telling her to keep look for a 'prince' who'd shine with a home filled with treasures of the knot(s) on Earth."

AMLAN: My story is shining, friend.

RAKI: We'll see, won't we, Amlan man?

AMLAN: Ezzy will find my football know more cinema-knit.

RAKI: We'll see, won't we, Amlan man?
AMLAN: This is a writer's rivalry worth a look by Martians, ha.

RAKI: We'll see, won't we, Amlan man?

AMLAN: Football's knife (Facebook-like).
