Divine Romance: A Reno Daybreak

A Story by Abishai100

Two deities are wound in an American Southwest blood-diamond fairy-tale about unusual dating.

One last blood-diamond feature, referencing the great Hindu avatar Shiva, master of meditation (and destruction!), tied to the equally-divine Eastern avatar Saraswati, fair deity of learning (and music!), in a divine-intervention vigilantism fable inspired by the offbeat crime-dreadlocks movie A Life Less Ordinary (Danny Boyle). Enjoy!

The Nevada Sate Bank (NSB) was the site of a great Euro-baron's blood-diamond holdings. This baron, Emil Kuyt, was smuggling in conflict-gems from Africa mined by warlords used to finance terrorism. Kuyt was using Nevada and Reno as a weigh-station for this motion in modern blood-diamond highways into our otherwise diamond-safe continent.

INTERPOL: Blood-diamond traffic today threatens the vitality of the modern global diamond market as well as merchants.

Now, the mountain-deity Shiva, master of destruction/meditation, noticed all of this while praying and thinking relatively deeply about the face of human civilization. Shiva was reasoning out the contours of capitalism in human civilization and noted that blood-diamond circulation on Earth was corrupting the quality of gem distribution, worrying merchants about the integrity of diamonds since sorting through conflict-gems and clean ones was extremely challenging. Shiva, master of destruction/meditation, decided to intercede and help mankind get through this difficult challenge on Earth.

Shiva transformed into a human Algerian prince Amlan and went down to Earth and became a diamond expert. He consulted with Interpol oriented agencies monitoring the flow of conflict-gems from Africa into Europe and North America! Amlan (Shiva) decided to go underground in this divine intervention and became a ninja-thief, stealing blood-diamonds from the safe-boxes owned by corrupt global capitalism-barons financing the traffic of blood-diamonds today.

Shiva/Amlan knew the greatest sphere in North America regarding blood-diamond corruption was created by the Euro-baron emil Kuyt. Amlan decided to dress up like a Middle Eastern prince named Ali and walked into the Nevada bank wielding what seemed to be a toy water-gun. He explained to the bank manager he's opening a toy store in Reno devoted to the promotion of competitive toys that dissuade youngsters from acting out on violence, toys like water-guns which promote healthy simulations of dangerous play! He also brought his own (fake) diamonds to store into the safe-box area near the one owned by Baron Kuyt. Amlan (Shiva) told the Nevada bank manager he's a loose-associate of Baron Kuyt and hoped to take some instant Polaroids of Kuyt's gems for a local newspaper article featuring the prestige of the Nevada bank itself. The manager was really impressed by all this and allowed Amlan to take photos of the Kuyt gems. While Amlan gave the manager his toy water-gun to play with inside the safe-box area, and the manager was fascinated by the gun's special water-heating and vaporization feature, Amlan switched Kuyt's diamonds for the (fake) diamonds he brought with him.

Shiva/Amlan then sent a notice to the Nevada Press for a photo-editorial stating, "The flow of corrupted diamonds into North America re-presents our real modern concern that unmonitored assets/treasures in globalized capitalism may threaten the actual prestige of established modern matrix mineral-origin advertisements!" Before it was known that Kuyt's diamonds in his safe-box were now fakes, Amlan/Shiva'd already managed to expose the corrupt Euro-baron (hiding in North America!) that blood-diamond traffic was figuratively destroying new era continental merchant-diction. Shiva was now confident his theatrical vigilantism would insert into human civilization the right dose of proportionate gem matrix skepticism. He then started thinking romantically about why women loved diamonds and remembered his secret passion for the under-weighed young deity-goddess Saraswati, angel of music/learning. Shiva decided he'd fallen in love with Saraswati and began praying to her with alms of diamond-denim.

Shiva had a dream that he was visited by the beautiful and sensuous goddess Saraswati who began teaching about the sacred/sentimental value of the ergonomics of treasure and luxury on Earth. Saraswati praised Shiva's use of the water-gun as a symbolic diadem for anti-terrorism humor. She also confided in Shiva that she admired and adored him for his ardor regarding his vigilante-passion for cleaning up the Earth diamond storehouse reporting! This was advanced youthful news, and Saraswati showed Shiva her love for his special and daring brand of civilization-dollars.

Shiva decided to stay in Nevada for a while and played some games at the resorts centers in the lit up night-city of Reno. He dreamed of someday uniting with the lovely and mystical immortal deity Saraswati and expressing his relief to her that capitalism dances on Earth would be more colored by folklore regarding advanced unusual vigilantism. After all, capitalism was a complex machine, requiring great lights and fortune medicine!

Shiva/Amlan was in a Reno supermarket one night shopping for pasta-and-sauce when he noticed a gorgeous ethnic woman shopping for supplies/food, and he was struck by the fantastic notion that this attractive Earth creature was in fact Saraswati transformed into a female human visiting Reno on Earth to find him to arrange a special courtship champagne to celebrate his vigilantism regarding Interpol-reporting on blood-diamond diseases.
