Aldrich/Kashmir

A Story by Abishai100

Aldrich Killian embarks on his mad-science career with a post-grad jaunt into 'troubled' Kashmir for journals/designs of 'English' exodus.

A pre-career visage of the antihero Aldrich Killian (Marvel Comics).

Aldrich Killian took his experimental laser-fire machine-gun with blade to politically torn Kashmir after graduating from Dartmouth (New England) and showed the guerrillas of India-Pakistan the methods of smuggling in these weapons as toy-company distributions to the populous, with replica-sets as a bonus charity-prize, and became famous as the young genius chess-pro at weapons-munitions finance(s) for modern political landscapes, a 'dark' James Bond on Earth.

ALDRICH KILLIAN: "College 'academics' gifted me a 'fantastic' sense of self-wrought individualism for science(s); cyber-chess."

He read a seminal work at college which altered the way he'd conceive of or conceptualize manmade political spheres of high-voltage, be it in Northern Ireland, Tel Aviv, or New York.

He became part of the underground of India-Pakistan disagreements over the 'dominion' in Kashmir, the once majestic area of great/social tourism and social-media potential, which was now simply unstable because of the land motions of soldiers/guerrillas trekking like ants or chess-pawns. Aldrich Killian wanted a young post-grad pre-science(s) career view into the 'heart of darkness' as he'd read about in college (Conrad) and opted to become a fence-swinging Benedict-Arnold and serve both master-clans of the Kashmiri landscape was a 'ninja' operating with 'red samurai' to demystify the 'quality' of social-media (e.g., Facebook-chess) ideations of secured commerce and journals.

His wife Ezzy left him after graduation when she immediately noted that Killian's own sense(s) of world-chess ambition and fury would (potentially) lead him to the 'evil' way(s) of mad scientists, perhaps designing a 'revolutionary' consciousness for bioevolution engineering. She retreated to Asia and became part of the peaceful civilian magazine world on Earth (hmm).

EZZY: Kashmir is beautiful, and I feel in my heart for its woe(s), but I won't follow Aldrich to Hell.

The condition(s) can be challenges in Kashmir, as they are in Northern Ireland. This is a time of social-media storytelling, to capture the everyday street-magic of human motion(s) and re-tell it as a canvas for human optimism (wow).

ALDRICH KILLIAN: We'll distribute special snow-adventure/ice-station comics to the students of Kashmir; for chess-ideology!

He'd encounter the strangers of the lush green and snow-white mountain-peaks/valleys of once tourism-IQ Kashmir. He'd take journal notes for the stories behind the 'masked-men' of great daring and pronounced agenda(s) without any merit for the 'quick' ascension back to Heaven.

He befriended the women-priestesses (Kashmir) who'd serve as special faerie-messengers in this time of uncertain motions of humans and learned of the intermarriage/play between political psychology and living dynamic human world life (or culture!).

The police-guardians of the Kashmir region were altogether valiant in this unfolding process of Eastern air-turbulence, and in the post-9/11 age, photojournalists covering the security-zones these servicefolk offer for tourism reports help the world confront the lurking brain-thoughts of complexity conflagration through media power(s).

ALDRICH KILLIAN: Write a hypothetical debate-novel about two folk-deity/avatars (Shiva/Pennywise) arguing Kashmir-chess.

SHIVA: You doubt my wisdom over Kashmir as deity of destruction, Clown Pennywise?
PENNYWISE: Look, Lord Shiva, I'm a man of the baser-instinct(s); I care for the profit(s) of pirate-brains.
SHIVA: This isn't a capitalism playground for experimental goal-driven conflict indulgences veiled as chess!
PENNYWISE: Really; for it seems to the 'underworld' that the nature of Earth-governance is one of dispassionate execution.
SHIVA: The 'yearning' to create governance intrigue on the foundation(s) of child-like curiosity would create holes in chess.
PENNYWISE: Chess is a 'game' like any other game, Lord Shiva!
SHIVA: No, Clown Pennywise; for in chess, we see a self-determined liberal strategy 'free-play' endorsing structured sanity.
PENNYWISE: Oh, I suppose you're 'correct' about this 'link' between chess and confidence, but sometimes angst is an art-form!
SHIVA: Alright; I'll continue to seek-out the 'art(s)' of a more living pragmatist view of capitalism traffic chess choreography.
PENNYWISE: That's fine; I'll continue to count the flowers to eat (hehe).
SHIVA: Farewell!

Aldrich Killian won the Pulitzer for this 'cinematic' meditation of Kashmir/geopolitics-philosophy and would get a legion of toy action-figures of intelligence-paramilitary soldiers of the modern Earth, guerrillas, ninjas, assassins, captains, gargoyles, and samurai. He'd use these toy-images to posit ideas to Kashmir regarding 'invoked' art(s) for 'incomplete' revolution(s) and drew the Liar's Paradox ("Every statement is false") as a method to describe refutation as a 'method' for vitality/humor/nihilism.

ALDRICH KILLIAN: What did my ex-wife understand of me, or of my new Kashmir-borne 'spices' of chess-spirals for the Ego?

EZZY: I honestly hope Aldrich Killian is somewhere in British Columbia working with home-cyber students on new chess-stalemate programs capture a democratic ideal regarding shared competition customs sanity/communications for diplomacy and beauty; I hope Aldrich does not use these same ideas to become a 'brainiac' of Earth dragons!

ALDRICH KILLIAN: I shall make seafood-quiche like a good Western-soul like all others; my brain-science notes I keep secret (for now) for an untold future involving some 'marriage' between organic chess/life and the articles of pure evolution!
