Sticks and Eyes: Lady-and-the-Curry

Loft-mates (Americans) find they may be dating the same girl who may be suspect in a hockey-murder case worth a President's Day 'helmet' for doubt.

Injecting another fiction-short in-between my world-troubles adventure trilogy, for your post-Valentine's Sunday (thanks for reading!),

AMLAN: We've become gents of great share activity for ice-hockey words/helmets, pal.

MARCUS: Yet, now, as near-brothers, we feel division-Hell because of a (shared?) woman.

AMLAN: Shelbye's someone we both like and unaware before she liked us both, pal.

MARCUS: Now, this gossip that she's mired in some anti-fanfare bloody-murder image, Amlan?

AMLAN: Are we detectives for English-psychology or rivals-thinkers for lady-love funnies now?

MARCUS: Ha, that's a President's Day thought for Earthling/American egg curry (ok).

AMLAN: Facebook-like.

Amlan and Marcus had shared their loft in the American Homeland and took weekends off in-turn to host parties and invite guests/friends, since they traveled in different circles of society; but they were shocked to learn that Shelbye, a sexy hockey-fan cheering in the same 'universe' that found them as workers/dreamers, was dating them both unknowing. Now, Shelbye was in some bloody-murder gossip about a rookie-star in the 'universe' of ice-and-sticks, and Amlan/Marcus wondered how they'd feel more like detectives and less like bitter-rivals in vertigo for social/media gossip (Facebook-like!).

SHELBYE: Let's go to Penn's Landing for President's Day '26, love.

AMLAN: We need to chat, my-lady (ok).

SHELBYE: You guessed I was the suspect-personage in that murder-rumor, eh?

AMLAN: Well, I also wondered if you were deeply doing 'things' with my loft-mate (blind!).

SHELBYE: I've got my own Earth-agenda, but you've no proof I'm the crime-suspect, love.

AMLAN: That's incomplete-truth, since you've got some demeanor for mischief, love.

SHELBYE: Is Marcus helping you in this loft-case (for doubt)?

AMLAN: Penn's Landing is too cold an area for President's Day visit/tourism (ok).

SHELBYE: Damn, I'll have to find something else, like a President's tombstone-visit.

AMLAN: Oh, yes, right, for your creative writing project (JFK-assassination), sure.

SHELBYE: Good luck.

Amlan was convinced Shelbye was the suspect in the hockey-athlete bloody-murder case as President's Day neared in hours; and Marcus knew she was dating both of them, but neither had proof of their psyche-words for 'examination' hype for gossip and/or stories (damn). However, what was known for sure was that President's Day '26 would be nothing less and something more (for the American loft-mates of differing society-circles handshakes) than simple leviathan (for the Ego)...wow.
