Cortina-Village Intrigue: Olympics/Thief/Count

A Story by Abishai100
"

A dashing eco-heroist makes gems-theater for capitalism-corruption eye and plays-game with a nihilist (Count Vertigo) for Olympics-fanzine jigsaw.

Injecting another piece in-between my Mysterio trilogy (set in the Euro-Olympics '26 village). Happy Monday (stay safe/warm),

FANZINE: This toy jewel-piece showcased by Baron Ion is an Olympics-gossip?
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): I assure you the Shadow shall swap it for art.
FANZINE: A heist theater for eco-gossip during the Winter Games (in Italy), sir?
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): I assure you I know-now who Shadow is, but ok.
FANZINE: Sounds interest (for leviathan/uncertainty)...good theater.
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): The Baron gave me note, "Tell the tale, man."
FANZINE: And you shall (Pink-Panther like!).



BARON ION: Shadow's entered with balloons and a cinema water-gun with acid!
ASSOCIATE: He's already departed and left glass-animal toys in your Italian-box.
BARON ION: Damn...I was assured this eco-gossip theater was all legit for talkie.
ASSOCIATE: Blood-diamond rumors, Baron Ion...stay clean/negligent; Selfie-like.
BARON ION: Blah, my jewelry-piece and the (real) diamonds were insured, ok.
ASSOCIATE: Shadow's celebrity...but it's all gossip anyways, for Olympics-rumor.
BARON ION: Facebook-like (for Heaven/Hell).



Friends, Shadow (Mr. Amlan Satan), Slovak-Algerian Catholic-Bostonian eco-vigilante and gems-thief artist destabilizing conflict-zone gems smugglers-highways as a musketeer of world-capitalism gossip for black market deconstruction(s), made-off with a great treasure-bag in the Olympics-village '26 Euro-town of Milan (in Italy) for an Ion-co. streets-gossip good-enough to draw-in Interpol-eye for doubt/corruption (Facebook-like!).



BARON ION: This treasure-chest was to be my adder for black market gossip!
ASSOCIATE: We'll find something else, Baron Ion (Facebook-like!).
BARON ION: Damn...Shadow's celebrity, and I'm to endorse Blood Diamond.
ASSOCIATE: Selfie-like, for any street-talkie link between village-and-bank.
BARON ION: Good (Facebook-like).



Before Shadow flew-away to Brussels for an organic-foods waffle-venture (in Belgium), a dark 'shadowy' figure in theatrical costume/dress, modeled after some Western (American) comic book 'super'-villain (the evil Count Vertigo) hopped into the Olympics-village of Milan (in Italy) to make waves that eco-capitalism and vigilantism was simply...dead. He promised to blow up the speed-skating event arena/track for his personal cinema-funny (for Hell)...Facebook-like.



FANZINE: Shadow took down two birds with one stone, eh?
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): I guess he'd prefer saying "2 eggs w/1 spatula!"
FANZINE: Does anyone know who the Shadow (actually) is?
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): No...but I guess he's Robin Hood (reborn).
FANZINE: Selfie-like (for eco-knucklebones).
MR. AMLAN SATAN (The Shadow): Vertigo self-exiled post-Shadow UN stunt.
FANZINE: Wow...Olympics-like.
