"I knew my case was no small-potatoes. I, Detective Amlan Satan of Chicago (USA), was resolved to make good momentum for strides to detect the ID and motions and calamity-insanity and direction of the man I stalked, the criminal mind of brilliant horrid evil, the masked serial-killer of women of Windy-City traffic who considered himself something like a proverbial 'phantom of the opera' of Earth-realm life of things...Facebook-like."

PSYCHO: I wanted to email you, sleuth (ha).

ME: What can I help you with today, Mister Malice?

PSYCHO: I like that, Mr. Malice...I shall have to use that (somehow).

ME: I've my own psyche-dilemmas to think/ponder...and it's what makes you ask?

PSYCHO: Pray tell, Mr. Sleuth (ok).

ME: I'm (ironically) estranged from my Slovak-Algerian Catholic twin (brother).

PSYCHO: You blogged about him while chatting about stalking me, Mr. Sleuth.

ME: I assure you...Mister Malice...my past/psychiatry doesn't cloud my labors.

PSYCHO: You blogged you used to give yourself and your twin/brother aliases.

ME: As children...we'd been fans of detective comics (Dick Tracy, etc.).

PSYCHO: Damn...I feel my curiosity is (ironically) larger as you hinted (ok).

ME: I suddenly get this eerie Halloween-feeling you're him...my twin (brother).

"It's true. The serial-killer in mask I stalked happened to be my estranged evil/twin (brother), and I'd not spoken to him in years, as we parted since college-days in the Ivy League, when he professed a newfound hypnosis with Absurdism and the proximity to nihilist-intelligence for evaluations/magnets of ethics, value(s) and Selfie-consciousness (damn). I knew the killer was him, and I had to find him all the more swiftly (suddenly)...damn. The man I chased as a Chicago police-detective, laboring with clues/cues about the psycho's tendency to trail/track/terrorize these American Homeland city-ladies, women, angels (all) with dark hair (brown/black), I guessed had some tendency to think (obsessively?) about office buildings and spaces (hmmm)."

POLICE CHIEF: Good work, Satan (really).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: My own twin (damn).

POLICE CHIEF: Chicago's history's rich...like American (ok).

MR. AMLAN SATAN: I'll achieve celeb-status for cyber-gossip, sir (ha).

POLICE CHIEF: Don't sweat the small stuff, Satan...it's all relative.

MR. AMLAN SATAN: Facebook-like (for onside-computing).

Hey! I really enjoyed your story especially the emotional depth and smooth narrative progression. It naturally sparked visual ideas while I was reading.
I’m a commission-based comic/webtoon artist, and I’d love to chat if a visual adaptation is something you’d like to explore.
