Notre-Dame: Halloween Detective (Leprechaun!)

A Story by Abishai100

A campus 'specter' haunts Notre Dame during the autumn season to deliver a countered-message of detours.

An American folklore approach to 'distance storytelling,' explored in modern dystopian films/media like Fatherland (Rutger Hauer). Hope you like this one (and thanks for reading),

In old Ireland (and Northern Ireland!), folk-tales about magical and mischievous leprechaun-sprites in the forest and villages abound, shirking curious adventurers from stealing their sacred and omen-filled pots-'o-gold and stirring human enchantment about the basic fear-comforts of 'protective' aura-dolls for kids depicting the fortune-guardianship offered by these leprechaun figures.

At the celebrated American Catholic university Notre Dame, the amazing 'Fightin' Irish' college-football team boasts a longstanding national-TV broadcasting relationship with NBC, augmenting the autumn season and Halloweentime festivities with regular NBC-broadcast Saturday college-football games. Notre Dame at Halloweentime is quite a spectacle for fans of college-football, American culture-festivities, Irish-Catholic folklore, and general media fanfare/ornaments (and even spook-stories).

This year at Notre Dame, the campus police-and-security are on extra-guard as a mischievous/mysterious masked terror-monger named 'Michael Myers' has been prowling/stalking the campus streets, prompting the nervous dean to wonder if this need for extra security reflects a newfound American neglect of basic traffic domestication!

This masked mysterious 'Michael Myers' figure haunting Notre Dame during Halloweentime this year seems to want to 'unnerve' the regular traffic/spirits for the 'Fightin' Irish' college-football team season in autumn, disturbing some otherwise 'sane' hype anticipated for the team's rivalry-game against the Michigan State Spartans, and perhaps, the students/faculty/security wonder, Michael Myers might be a new 'face' for Irish-folklore leprechaun-darkness in the United States.

NOTRE DAME DEAN: We hope that the magical offerings of spiritual protection for the Fightin' Irish this Halloween will shoo away this erasure-ominous 'Michael Myers' character who's been blogging on the Notre Dame net that no 'leprechaun' can dissuade his haunting-agenda this autumn to unnerve our campus traffic culture surrounding festivities and general social detection.

MICHAEL MYERS: What Notre Dame needs this Fightin' Irish reason is a reminder why America's so 'lucky' with academic arts.

Halloween is otherwise a great/symbolic time of American folklore and festivities. There's candy, scary stories, ornaments, trick-or-treating, costumed kids and chaperoning parents, and the usual ornaments surrounding the Gaelic/Samhain-derived festival of masquerade in the night-time for an 'escape' from the sanity of normal customs in the world. Michael Myers suggests this sort of Notre Dame Halloweentime 'fortune' delivered by the Fightin' Irish leprechauns are unique to American capitalism and are not seen as ebulliently in troubled sectarian-violent areas of Western civilization (i.e., Northern Ireland). The dean/detectives on the campus wonder amidst all the regular Halloween festivities if Michael Myers wants to deliver some kind of detective-prank about the odd nature of emergent darkness during democratic discourse.

A Notre Dame young professor named Satan who's roaming around the campus during Halloween this year costumed as a 'Cossack detective' from old Russia insists that Michael Myers just wants to scare the hell out of everyone for this Fightin' Irish college-football season and is determined to chase/track this mischief-artist and 'evil elf' or dark-leprechaun using his own inventive brand of costumed/invisible distancing.

PROFESSOR SATAN: I believe Michael Myers is dumping an eerie omen about sectarian troubled between Catholics-Protestants in Belfast (Northern Ireland) and wants the Fightin' Irish of Notre Dame to be 'spooked' this Halloween about the fortunes of Irish design not shared by others around the world, which requires us 'campus detectives' to be on extra-diligence for deformity signs of metaphysical or mystical dogma.

No bother, because the fun Notre Dame Fightin' Irish fans and faculty are decked-out in Halloweentime gear and candy spirits this year on campus and will offer 'campus detectives' like Professor Satan the right environmental back-up for all kinds of traffic enhancements designed to 'shoo away' Michael Myers from the regular college-football season fanfare and visuals.

MICHAEL MYERS: Don't be arrogant about the evil-leprechauns who should remind us that American Halloween fun is not shared by the troubled demographic people of distanced places like Northern Ireland this year...or any other in many past.

The dean hires a special campus detective to work on this season terror-case named Clarice who believes Michael Myers may be some kind of 'homegrown terrorist' out to create some horrid disaster during a NBC Fightin' Irish game and intends to dissuade the campus people in America to enjoy the otherwise folklore of Halloweentime specters like the Headless Horseman, Lubdan, and Leatherface. Clarice is cool and determined.

PROFESSOR SATAN: We shall use special Halloweentime-charms to ward off Michael Myers and aid Detective Clarice!

Professor Satan's been himself working on world-culture cross-contact fashions/designs in this new era of post-9/11 commerce-driven bridges to globalism and worldwide capitalism optimism, including Irish-Indian women's 'saree' designs of green-and-gold colors embossed by both the traditions/ornaments of Ireland (and Northern Ireland!) and India. This is a 'crusade' to celebrate the autonomy of people-wrought commercial liberties separate from the fears of sectarian dogma...or depression.

MICHAEL MYERS: I refuse to believe we can disregard the omens of violence for Halloween in America simply with avatars!

PROFESSOR SATAN: We've formed a special 'Foreign Irish Republican Army' of Notre Dame students/faculty to hype tradition.

If the dean and Detective Clarice are to nail down how Michael Myers is citing foreign sectarian 'troubles' to disparage the Irish folklore and festivities in Halloween time during the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish season this year, perhaps they'll have to discover some 'monumental' platforms this campus-terrorist Myers's using to dissuade students/faculty from remembering worldwide trophies such as the peace-canonical London Bridge in autumn's flames.
