Airport '23

A Story by Abishai100

Why'd Earth-transit (airport!) magic be a 'generator' for some form for new millennium superstitious deviance-art (for bureaucracy)?

A holiday-season nod to the classic paranoia 'art' of the transit-series of Airport films. Thanks for reading,

Amlan and Marcus decided to visit their fave-airport in the summer of '23 for a Euro-currency journal-write in the new millennium of transit/exchange confidence language-arts for globalism-rhetoric and antiterrorism 'expressions' of (serious) superstition-charms and hoped to find 'cool' photo-synthesis of world-traffic bureaucracy (for magic!).

MARCUS: Isn't your lady-friend at that Italian terminal for this journey?

AMLAN: My ex-wife, not lady-friend, pal; but I'm going to reconcile (somehow).

MARCUS: Sounds like a hip social media (personnel) commentary, Amlan.

AMLAN: It can be...but I'm worried about something else (now), airport-IQ.

MARCUS: What's it?
AMLAN: I got an email from my estranged twin/brother (Ajay) about panic.

MARCUS: Estranged.

AMLAN: We were separated at-birth; he grew up wayward; communicated.

MARCUS: He's your 'proverbial' evil-twin, Amlan.

AMLAN: I don't doubt it, Marcus; and I fear for some social-media gesture.

MARCUS: Airport?
AMLAN: Airport, Euro, an airline, uncertain (for comment).

Well, despite Amlan's misgivings following the communication(s) received from Ajay (his estranged 'wayward' brother), he and Marcus were resolved to make this world-transit 'examination' a cool world-infrastructure photo-graphics for inventive securities feelings in Earth-time, given all the hype with antiterrorism imagery. Amlan wanted a Brussels-sprout magic en-route to Europe and sought to (equally) reconcile with his ex-darling (Esmerelda) inside O'Hare.

EZZY: You caught me enjoying (Indian) luchi-bread inside the court, eh?

AMLAN: I stalked you, Esmerelda.

EZZY: Don't want to call me by my nickname (you gave)?

AMLAN: I get a sense I'm drawn to you by fate inside O'Hare today, Esmerelda.

EZZY: You have a 'nasty' worry-feeling in your spirit, Amlan.

AMLAN: Well, yes, see, my bother...

EZZY: Brother?
AMLAN: Estranged...never told you about him...he emailed me something.

EZZY: What, he's your evil-twin, Amlan?

AMLAN: Something like that, Esmerelda; boy, that luchi's zesty, hon.

EZZY: Thanx (good for bureaucracy).

Well, as Amlan persuaded Esmerelda to join him Belgium and bought a ticket on her airline (with Marcus), he started itching about his brother (Ajay) and wondered about all the worldly designs that made Earth-travel a thing of ghost-magic for the capitalist race of those 'pesky' incomplete-distances' to traffic/lifestyle simplicity (for all). Would Ajay appear at O'Hare to track/stalk his estranged-twin for a photo-graphics 'darkness' in these times of troubles/fiction?

AJAY: Good to see you here, now.

AMLAN: My goodness, you put-on a Scarecrow get-up in the airport-lav.

AJAY: I don't have time to chat(s), brother; I'm a super evil dude from Hell.

AMLAN: You're a creep.

AJAY: This tiny mouse is holding a detonator, and you don't want to ask me.

AMLAN: What's the deal/bargain, long-lost soul-mate of mine?

AJAY: You persuade your lady-friend to go with you, to Belgium...or else.

AMLAN: Joke?
AJAY: I've been spying on you; I know; persuade her (for O'Hare).

AMLAN: I just might do that...you self-exile yourself for some Swiss-art.

AJAY: Fine; remember me, bro; I have ways to determine if you kept the deal.

AMLAN: I won't fail you...this time, twin.

AJAY: Good Facebook comment.

AMLAN: Well.

Amlan instructed his travel-pal (Marcus) to grab Esmerelda and have her laugh-chuckle in pure happiness in public while walking to the boarding-gate of their (shared) flight to Belgium, for Ajay to spot (and think the trio were 'rightly' a travel-team that he sought for some personal/private journal-fantasy about 'brotherly-motivation') and Amlan grabbed Ajay when he saw him spying on Marcus/Ezzy and assured him, "I got you this toy from the gift-store...I know you're going into exile now, before any manmade disaster you planned, long-lost soul-mate of mine."

AJAY: Fantastic (photo-synthesis dialysis).

Well, this very unusual airport-2023 tale has a happy-ending, and Amlan remarried Esmerelda (his darling) and Marcus became a writer/artist in Europe and Ajay most likely kept his end of the O'Hare 'deal' and self-exiled for a private 'retirement' from Earth-traffic. Wow, what a story we might make for 'discovery' in this 21st-Century of those predictable 'incomplete-distances' to traffic/grid activity for all (simplified) bureaucracy-cinema.
