PSYCHIATRIST: So you refuse to absorb Selfie-culture comforts for this thought.
AMLAN SATAN: Well, doc...killing your father's hardly a Selfie-soothed thought!
PSYCHIATRIST: You claim you had to do so in self-defense and you buried him.
AMLAN SATAN: It's my secret, and you're keep this all confidential (I've proof!).
PSYCHIATRIST: Well, we'll keep it secret and allow you to unfold your psyche!
AMLAN SATAN: Thanx, doc...you'll see my Selfie-investment is hardly medicine.
PSYCHIATRIST: You've a letter he wrote prior to him trying to murder you.
AMLAN SATAN: In his handwriting, reads, "If I fail, this letter's only apology."
PSYCHIATRIST: You poor soul...perchance Selfie-comforts are too vain, no?
AMLAN SATAN: I'm not giving-up on your world/society immersion thought.
PSYCHIATRIST: The more Selfie-comforts you absorb, the more you'll forgive.



AMLAN SATAN: I had a dream he visited from the afterlife as a female-drone.
PSYCHIATRIST: What?
AMLAN SATAN: It was like anti-Hamlet (damn).
PSYCHIATRIST: You punish your mind, yet you killed father in self-defense?
AMLAN SATAN: I know, I know...it sounds morbid, but this ghost was bizarre!
PSYCHIATRIST: A female-drone, like Medieval or fantasy, clad in metal.
AMLAN SATAN: Perchance my resolution that I protected a damsel, no?
PSYCHIATRIST: That's a natural-thought; your father was lucky for his burial.
AMLAN SATAN: I buried him with a Christian prayer and won't forget the Hell.
PSYCHIATRIST: Or the Heaven (Facebook-like!).
AMLAN SATAN: Good (Facebook-like).



PSYCHIATRIST: You had a silencer 'toy' (fancy-gold gun) he gifted you.
AMLAN SATAN: Father's way of commemorating my birthday and his NRA-IQ.
PSYCHIATRIST: In his 'failure-premonition' letter, he half-apologized.
AMLAN SATAN: He claimed he was unable to negotiate his angst/wrath.
PSYCHIATRIST: He was an alcoholic.
AMLAN SATAN: Very troubled...had a bizarre preoccupation with rats (too).
PSYCHIATRIST: Did he buy toys for you when you were a boy?
AMLAN SATAN: That he did, but he was very verbally abusive to my mom.
PSYCHIATRIST: What did he write in this 'apology' letter that scars you?
AMLAN SATAN: "You and me, sonny...we're flesh/bone...never dialysis."
PSYCHIATRIST: You've negotiated the 'leviathan' in your (American) life.
AMLAN SATAN: Being an immigrant/citizen infused ambition's heart-strings too.
PSYCHIATRIST: Facebook-like (ok).



AMLAN SATAN: I was in my summer home, swimming, and he brought the gun.
PSYCHIATRIST: He gave you the (loaded) gold-gun he gifted you.
AMLAN SATAN: He said, "Hold the gun, and try to aim; you'll lose, sonny."
PSYCHIATRIST: Then he pulled out a revolver and aimed it at your heart!
AMLAN SATAN: I dove under water and then popped-up with my gun aimed.
PSYCHIATRIST: And you shot him (squarely) in the chest.
AMLAN SATAN: I found his 'failure-premonition' letter by his whiskey-glass.
PSYCHIATRIST: What did you make for Christian-prayers for his (secret) burial?
AMLAN SATAN: "Forgiving my father...for all men are troubles-rich, even Jesus."
PSYCHIATRIST: And you left your summer home and sought a new-life.
AMLAN SATAN: I'm dating a librarian now, doc (Shelbye O'Hara).
PSYCHIATRIST: What have you shared with her?
AMLAN SATAN: Some things are better left unsaid (Facebook-like).
PSYCHIATRIST: Good (ok).
