Bad Ophelia: Logarithm (Part 2)

Cyber-'therapist' exchanges with a dark-minded anarchist woman in the American Homeland for castle-keratin, in a 3-part Selfie-culture 'dogma' fiction.

Ophelia (Shakespeare) character-study adaptation story. Thanks for reading (Happy Autumn-'25, all)

MR. SATAN: Well, we've exchanged much over email about your 'conditions' now!

OPHELIA: Doc, you're quite the listener for all my Selfie society angst or fury, ha.

MR. SATAN: So, 'bad'-Ophelia, what's the word with your newest claims of pattern?

OPHELIA: Still luring married cops and sometimes bloody killing 'em, doc (ok).

MR. SATAN: Still?
OPHELIA: I explained, doc...I'm thinkin' of shapes of civilization's dark socks!

MR. SATAN: Dark?

OPHELIA: Think of great women in the past, overshadowed by society's vanities.

MR. SATAN: Vanity?
OPHELIA: Consider me just an 'angel' of message-qualia, doc...inventive know.

MR. SATAN: Know?
OPHELIA: Surely, you've thought about iconic female 'characters' of fire (past)?

MR. SATAN: Maybe...Joan of Arc, Lady Macbeth, Mary Guise, Indira Gandhi, ok.

OPHELIA: How about Madonna, Aileen Wuornos, Patty Hearst, and Lizzy Borden?

MR. SATAN: That's quite the list, 'bad'-Ophelia; you kill/seduce cops (only!).

OPHELIA: Maybe I'm your Selfie age messenger of things of everyday...smoke.

While Amlan Satan, Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American cyber-therapist, didn't know how to rightly explain the full anarchic psyche-spectrum shape of her newest pseudo-patient who referred to herself as 'Ophelia' (perhaps a 'cool' Shakespearean reference to castle-frailties of the mind), but he (still) appreciated her Selfie visualization as a stick-figure cat-woman like 'doodle' signifying some mentalism 'agenda' to invent customs-complexity theories in this 21st-Century of traffic/networks 'linked' social choreography for the (everyday) 'know' conveniences (e.g., Facebook).

OPHELIA: You think I'm merely trying to be perfect American psycho (criminal)?

MR. SATAN: You think you're much more, Ophelia...like a fallen angel of Heaven?

OPHELIA: Cops are hierarchy and civilization wonderwalls, doc...I'm an anarchist!

MR. SATAN: I'm to feel the tragedy-face of you, as your (Shakespearean?) alias is?

OPHELIA: Poor 'princess' Ophelia awaited Prince Hamlet's heart and died in vain.

MR. SATAN: Alas, she didn't find the court-psyche to draw darkened Hamlet away!

OPHELIA: That's my name, doc...'Ophelia'...and these cop-families I mark...text.

MR. SATAN: You're no Hele of Troy (ha).

OPHELIA: I remain your patient, good doc (ok).

MR. SATAN: Selfie-like (ok).

Amlan recounted one exchange with 'bad' Ophelia about the worldly/lifestyle civilization comfort/pillows 'value(s)' of Pho (Vietnamese/noodles soup) and thought to get some more to unwind his darkened mind, to meditate on (exactly) who/what 'bad' Ophelia intended to be (or become!). Why did she lure married cops to adultery and then sometimes bloody murder them for personal/Selfie cleats (for Hell)? Amlan Satan, cyber-therapist and Pho-fan of the 21st-Century, continued to wonder if 'bad' Ophelia, his online pseudo-patient of undisclosed ID/face/real-name, had become somehow his 'real'-world haunting (for doubt).
