The Harlequin: Box of Quarterbacks

The Harlequin: Box of Quarterbacks

A Story by Abishai100
"

A man of Robin Hood 'visage' withdraws from his micro-crusade after viewing the Selfie-life of lifestyle's eco-accessibilities and seeing a maiden (of keratin).

"
Ethics-flux and consciousness portrait for eco-superstitions (or Earth-realm 'jitters' of the heart). Thanks for reading (Happy November),

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I was in the UK operating to intercept black market diamonds.
INTERVIEW: You started seeing a shrink, Shadow?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Shadow is an alias of Selfie-visualized heroics, but yes, ha.
INTERVIEW: You're a Slovak-Algerian Catholic-American Bostonian of eco-arts.
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Wrote and painted things of eco-capitalism in my studio(s), ok.
INTERVIEW: Read of black market diamonds threatening American sports market.
MR. AMLAN SATAN: American football teams began making Euro-exhibition tours.
INTERVIEW: Diamonds-ads linked, gave you creeps for Earth-minerals, eh?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Started using liquid-nitrogen and acid-guns for eco-theater.
INTERVIEW: Drew Interpol-relation 'examination' eye for gems-insurance knot(s).
MR. AMLAN SATAN: That's when I started seeing a shrink, around Halloween.



Why would Mr. Satan (Amlan), Bostonian junior-league hockey coach of the American Homeland with eco-arts sideshow hobby, make himself a 'freelance' vigilante of black market intercepts in the 'troubles'-rich UK for facilitation of commerce-linked pluralism-politics for modern inter-religious consumerism insurance 'integrity-adjectives' in Parliament (you maybe ask)? Why, you further (maybe) ask would Amlan Satan, idealist eco-universe 'Robin Hood type' of the modern United Kingdom, need to (eventually) see a shrink for personal psyche-unwind for his work in an inferno of commerce-piracy profiteers labeling? Well, as he told his fanzine-interviewer (Dartmouth), he started thinking of the more 'primalism-adjective' of things of a very human shape of fortune, lifestyle, risk-choices, and nihilist heroics surgery (for the Ego!).



INTERVIEW: Fancy 'toy' guns, Shadow?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Catholics like utilitarianism, friend, ha.
INTERVIEW: Why the therapy, Shadow?
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Eco-capitalism can be or feel like absurdism, no?
INTERVIEW: You abandoned your 'crusade' once half-complete...for love.
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Was it love/lust...unsure/forgetting (ok)?
INTERVIEW: You got depressed, Shadow; and you took-up lodge with a maiden.
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Not just any maiden...but Maid Marian (herself maybe!).
INTERVIEW: "James Bond loses goal-sight and marries one of his field-contacts."
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Eco-capitalism is about life/lifestyle...I saw a harlequin, yes?
INTERVIEW: That's interesting..."Inferno draws in a 'priest'-like adventurer."
MR. AMLAN SATAN: Who said Dante (Inferno) was 'obtuse' about lust-dolls?
INTERVIEW: No one...toys-for-tots (damn).



Mr. Satan (Amlan) decided to return to New England and got himself a very-nice comic book, colored, to recount what drew him away from his Robin Hood 'micro-crusade' and into the arms of a gorgeous Catholic 'Maid Marian' of incomplete-distances readings to the leviathan/uncertainty of ethics-vertigo in a universe fraught with troubles of pirates and terrorists (ok). He wanted-out and wanted-therapy; and he only thought about the human-form and mind-physique of things of shine and magic and super powers of the free-will and risk-intelligence 'variety' to forgive himself (honestly!) why/how eco-capitalism made him blind-sighted by the presence of a beautiful maiden...who (simply!) humbled his glorious adventurism for a 'sideshow' of escapism. After all, hadn't we humans characterized lust as (simply)...shoes for football? What do you think (for doubt)?
