Mannequin: Flare/Woodcrest

A capitalism storyteller discovers a special mall-mannequin is inhabited by a living-spirit, requiring a special 'light' for what's (purely) lead for bureaucracy.

A 'bright' adaptation of that iconic Big-'80s consumerism-metaphysics tale Mannequin (Michael Gottlieb). Happy Xmas,

AMLAN SATAN: "This work with fortune-readings for capitalism-writing in the Homeland (America) for varied themes/concepts invokes in me some special superstitious fascination with our Selfie-culture of 'incomplete-distances' to the materialism of wrought commerce-life vanities me thinks, perchance for some 'excellence' in (deep) 'detective' intuitions."

Mr. Amlan Satan, an excellent capitalism storyteller living in the Homeland (America), had found some superstitious feelings while exploring the rich/varied social-media/consumerism lifestyle meanderings/consciousness for civilization Ego and started to get this 'funny-feeling' he'd be prime for some rich experience for the lines of civilization theater. Boy, was he right, for Mr. Satan was about to be immersed into some of the richness of his own life-enlargement writing-themes/concepts which had softened his (deep) mind!

MANNEQUIN (Esmerelda): Can you hear me, Mr. Satan?
AMLAN: Yes, I can hear you (but I'm feeling very weird now).

MANNEQUIN: My name's Esmerelda, but you can use my nickname ('Ezzy').

AMLAN: What are you whispering to be about now, Ezzy?
MANNEQUIN: You're not going insane, with your capitalism-writing(s), Mr. Satan!
AMLAN: Really (I now have doubt!).

MANNEQUIN: I want you to write a special 'sportsmanship-treasure' tale (for me!).

AMLAN: What kind of story and why would I do this (for a voice in my own brain)?

MANNEQUIN: Do it, and I'll come-to-life, and fall in love with you, be your guide.
AMLAN: I guess all this fortune-writing's been putting 'strings' of weirdness in me!

MANNEQUIN: So, what's the harm to give it a try (for yourself too)?

AMLAN: Alright, I'll do it (for bureaucracy).

MANNEQUIN: Return when the task is done; consider the Selfie-culture value(s).

AMLAN: I wonder if this is some modern psychiatric rendition of Pinocchio, Ezzy.

MANNEQUIN: It isn't (ha); but take-care to keep secret/modest, Amlan.

AMLAN: Alright; since you know my name and my life; I'll keep it secret.

MANNEQUIN: No Facebook-pokes (get it?).

AMLAN: Sure; for bureaucracy (fine).

STORY_EXCERPT: "I wandered into an iconic bookstore (Woodcrest) and thought about the 'light' of knowledge my special mall-mannequin whispered to me, about finding some 'cool' sportsmanship image for treasure-consciousness in capitalism-readings (America) and selected a Bowl-'23 memoir Joe Montana (49ers) pro-football spirits rookie-card, to remind me why competition, like capitalism, infused in a writer (or any man!) a 'transit' superstition about those incomplete-distances to the quality of Earthling-life dialysis (for flares!)."

EZZY: Did you write the tale and acquire the deed (for us), Amlan Satan?
AMLAN: I have, for you, Ezzy (thanx)!

EZZY: So you loved the way the story unfurled, for your 'troubled' mind, eh?
AMLAN: You're my Galatea (or something)!
EZZY: I love you for it.

AMLAN: I even shot some flares (at night) with writing-pals, in your honor, Ezzy!

EZZY: Seems you've found some light-clearance for what's bureaucracy-pressures.

AMLAN: I owe it all to you, mannequin!

EZZY: Don't think of me as a doll (now), Amlan; I'll become your life-angel (now!).

AMLAN: Why all this...and for me, Esmerelda?

EZZY: You can guess it, Amlan Satan; you've got a flare for the 'flair' of field goals.

AMLAN: I hope you're right; this is quite the 'rich' organic-fortune (for me).

EZZY: Perhaps for Earth (light).

AMLAN: Wow (bureaucracy!).
