In the dark city of Chicago, a fat-cat evildoer named Scarecrow was pitting kidnapped prostitutes into a special terrifying fright-matrix called the Labyrinth in which the young attractive women were literally slave-runners evading placed madmen in a game of death. However, a wily diamond-thief in the Windy City named Sparrow (Amlan Satan) caught wind of this underworld activity and sought to rescue one of these hellmouth-damsels from the terrifying claws of the ravenous Scarecrow in Chicago. Let the adventure begin!

AMLAN SATAN (Sparrow): "Now, I've developed thoroughly Christian comics about damsels, and I intend to rescue one now!"

Sparrow/Amlan infiltrated the underworld lair of the hideous Scarecrow by sneaking into the Chicago tunnels with the assistance of a drug-runner he'd befriended near the University streets and discovered his ties to more evil sinners of Scarecrow's dominion. Sparrow entered Scarecrow's labyrinth carrying a host of special toy-guns capable of shooting apparent plastic shells which actually exploded upon contact with human skin and released a deadly acid! Scarecrow was tres-impressed.

Sparrow reasoned with the Scarecrow and convinced him to allow him to enter one of these 'Running-Girl' night-damsel trespass hunting labyrinth-games as a potential 'lone-knight' seeking to rescue or 'extract' one of these Windy City damsels and claim her for his own as his warranted bride! Scarecrow was so impressed with Sparrow's daring and idealism that he agreed to grant him just one chance to rescue just one damsel. Suddenly, Sparrow felt like he was taking an exam and felt very studious.

SPARROW: I've chosen the damsel I'm to rescue; she's an Algerian-American beauty/hooker named Esmerelda.

Sparrow dressed up like a Labyrinth runner-knight and donned sunglasses to give him special dark-vision in the neon-labyrinth of maze in which the forced 'running-girls' would be fleeing maniacs armed with chainsaws and axes. Sparrow resembled a character out of some Chicago comic book now.

Sparrow brought with him what seemed to be a funny little Transformers-robot glowing-gem toy called Shock, which emitted an undisclosed sound that could deafen the ears of an adversary if held up right to the person's ears. Sparrow would want to use such a weaponized toy in the Labyrinth to disorient an attacker-maniac running at him with a chainsaw.

At the heart of the Labyrinth was a special safe-box containing a $1 million emerald from Egypt called the Nile-Jewel ("NJ"), and Sparrow sought to steal the emerald and claim it for himself and his targeted damsel Esmerelda, whom he sought to extort from the claws of Scarecrow as a special Labyrinth-Emerald 'darling-drawing.'

When Scarecrow wasn't in his strange hideous Labyrinth running-girl death-game costume/mask, he was an upright U-Chicago assistant professor, teaching modern city students about the wonders of new era commercial labyrinths designed to offer real inspiration about the ins-and-outs of convenience-capitalism, which his how Sparrow found Scarecrow incidentally!

ESMERELDA: "I don't want to be the tragic 'Running-Girl' in tonight's Labyrinth death-game, and I count on the Sparrow!"

Now, it was known that the valiant Sparrow (Amlan Satan) had robbed more diamonds than anyone in North America, taking from corrupt Euro-barons hoarding blood-diamonds from warlords used to finance terrorism-regimes in Africa. Sparrow had become something of a Robin Hood, inspiring new age vigilante comics depicting diamond-thieves as inventive 'daisy' dartmouths.

SCARECROW: If this nut can grab the Nile-Jewel and Esmerelda, I'll let him claim his bizarre democracy prize tonight.

SPARROW: When I say run left, you run right as fast as you can!

ESMERELDA: Alright, darling!

Esmerelda followed the advice of Sparrow (Amlan Satan) in the Labyrinth death-game to a T, and this helped him outwit his hideous maniac-adversaries in the neon-maze designed by the evil Scarecrow. Sparrow used his audition-scrambler toy-device and special hidden acid pellets to disorient his enemies and hurl Esmerelda towards the exit path of the Labyrinth, but not before he managed to sneak-snatch the Nile-Jewel ("NJ") right from the central safe-box using a special ducking trick! It was neon-design, friends.

SPARROW: We've accomplished a great feat tonight, Ezzy!

ESMERELDA: I feel like we're two deities out of a religious comic book, darling.

Sparrow and 'Ezzy' got married, and it was all thanks to the financing created by his new Swiss enterprise which was made possible of course by the lush markets Sparrow managed to find using his Nile-Jewel ("NJ") diaries. This was Chicago ('Windy City') fantasy-adventure at its finest, and Sparrow (Amlan Satan) thanked God that he at least managed to rescue and romance just one forlorn hooker-girl from this awful Scarecrow death-game, constructing a future life-sanity treasure-chest for marriage...and diaries.

SPARROW: I bought you this vintage neo-classical emerald Audi, Ezzy.

ESMERELDA: She rides like a beaut, darling.

This was a success-story of heroic proportions, achieved by a great underworld pirate or vigilante-thief named Sparrow, and it wouldn't be possible without such described senses of real urban underworld...depression! God bless America.
