Amlan's Card: A Pillow Quality

A Story by Abishai100
"

Man negotiates personal-psyche imagery and the 'consciousness' of Earthling experience for Selfie-mirror of adaptation and competitiveness (for field goals).

Amlan got himself an NFL fanfare trading-card of great personal/social/media value to him, featuring a Detroit Thanksgiving-football town athlete of great cheers and then realized he started having dreams of the featured athlete running from wolves! He started then waking and taking notes in his journal about the athlete's running-skill(s) and why he'd visualize such legs/feet flexibility and adaptive-strength would link to evasion, escape, entropy, and exits. The card suddenly became Amlan's special psyche-pillow about the human experience itself!



PSYCHIATRIST: You've started reading things about guerrilla-warfare, pal?
AMLAN: I've been thinking of reactions to colonialism and mobilized/masked IQ.
PSYCHIATRIST: You mentioned you visualized these humans on war-ground as ants?
AMLAN: Running ants, doc...running for their lives and using speed for life-claims!
PSYCHIATRIST: You say you're thinking of these guerrilla-humans as athletes, pal?
AMLAN: Almost as if they're mannequin-reflections of my NFL-athlete card, doc.
PSYCHIATRIST: Well, seems your NFL-card's become a psyche-'pillow' for magic.
AMLAN: Facebook-like (for knight-vision), doc...ok.



Amlan knew his experience and mind journals scribbling about his NFL-card about running and adaptation and human consciousness made him feel like he'd been sculpting a psyche-'pillow' of things lifestyle, learning, listening, lead, and large fears, if even for courage and the will (ok). Amlan wondered how such a possession, of a sports-card for his home-life in a suburbia-pocket in the American Homeland (called Echelon), would mark him as an Earth-realm 'diplomat' of (all) things...knucklebones (damn).



AMLAN: I got myself a nice beautiful bowl of Pho on a given Sunday of NFL-TV!
PSYCHIATRIST: That's rich, pal (ok).
AMLAN: Doc, the word 'foe' sounds like 'Pho' (the Vietnamese noodle-soup dish).
PSYCHIATRIST: That's funny!
AMLAN: Maybe I think of that psyche-'pillow' that's become my NFL trading-card.
PSYCHIATRIST: You're learning, pal...about the Earthling experience (of doubt).
AMLAN: That's rich, doc (for leviathan/uncertainty).
PSYCHIATRIST: Your psyche-'pillow' invokes some fitness-feel of Earth's daydreams.
AMLAN: I think you're right (about me), doc; and maybe my 'sport' is butterknife.

THE END
