Duke-of-Zero

A Story by Abishai100
"

Man narrates his diorama-agenda for make/craft of Duke-sports (college-basketball) fan-superstitions and Earth-magic for a word/write of quadrilaterals (for share).

Duke basketball fan-fic. Thanks for reading (happy weekend),

"It was Halloween in the American Homeland, and I had begun to weave my special lifelong memories weighted fascination with Duke Blue-Devils basketball (college athletics/TV fanfare-tales) for Blue Planet kinesthesia (Selfie-like)."



"I began making my cyber-diorama of Duke imagery and nicknamed myself the Hornet, for a buzz-fanfare mentalism representation of what made the Blue Devils a Blue Planet 'shine' for TV/competitiveness and coaching/teamwork excellence for stories and education and general-audience interest (for doubt!). Duke had accrued 5 national titles, countless ACC (conference) wins, and numerous #1-national rankings for TV-fans and critics alike (wow). Duke's run of high-art competitiveness stretched from the late-'80s and into the new millennium; and their legendary 'Coach-K' boasted Olympics-level excellence for laurel (ok). My Duke-diorama of memories of great rivalries, tourney-moments, rankings-heat, and Final Four berths made me think of why college-sports TV had become a Blue Planet 'know'-of-quarks (for all!)."



HORNET: It's Halloween, but I've got chocolate-candies eggs for treats/TV.
READER: That sounds like Easter, fool.
HORNET: That it does, and Duke basketball goes well with coffee (too).
READER: Fan of Hoosiers, eh?
HORNET: Ironically, Duke had an 'iconic' heat-contest with Indiana Hoosiers ('92).
READER: I recall it, Final Four semifinal (ok).
HORNET: My 'Easter' chocolate-eggs are (all) the rave for sports-fanfare logic!
READER: Selfie-like (for superstitions).



HORNET: Great drink, thanx, lady.
WAITRESS: In Boston-town long, man?
HORNET: Here for a college-TV conference and comic book thing.
WAITRESS: Cool (Selfie-like).
HORNET: Fan of Duke (basketball), miss?
WAITRESS: Who isn't (Facebook-like)?
