Defense of the Rain

Venom contends with Minotaur to create pockets of security in our war-minded planet.

Actually, I must sign off with this neo-classical parable about titans on Earth battling to create realms of fantastic diaries in this new age of great traffic-imagined drama. This final yarn was inspired by the film Westworld. Thanks so much for reading (and enjoy!),

Life on Earth was all about warfare anf engagement for territory and national identity. People wore masks and became new age centurions just to achieve levels of great political presence. This was a planet of great conceived martial imagination.

As global warming and species extinction reports came into science institutions and political organizations, humanity organized to manage such calamity and address environmental mismanagement with forms of capitalism reorientation. This sort of rationalism ironically complemented the war-like stance of humans curious about marching strength. The nature of life was the cultivation of great motion.

Well, in this great mix or medley of ambition and mental will, there came a strange superhero who was known as Venom. Venom originally imagined he'd be a great Republican idealist crusader of wondrous colors, but in the end, he looked into the mirror of existence and learned he was really a 'creature of the night' here on Earth to protect basic sensibilities regarding the safeguarding of courage. Venom wanted to ensure humans that terrorism and war would not overshadow the urge to foster civilization diction.

It was fortunate that Venom was present on Earth at this time, because a super-monster was conceived named the Minotaur. This man-creature was able to create greate power-realms of vanity and daring just from the ashes of political power-struggles and became a symbol of both Wall Street and World Wars. The Minotaur beckoned ancient notions of war and conquest, and Venom knew this man-creature was no joke --- a force of pure debt.

The Minotaur took the transformed form of a mechanical giant and invaded the American city one October morning, as the Coronavirus quarantine tribulation was finally beginning to wane. Venom had to swoop in like a cloud-trail of spiraling energy in the skies above Minotaur's mechanical body and head. Venom used his powerful cobwebs to shoot a blinding veil of strings all over the man-creature's eyes, forcing the mechanical Behemoth to come to terms with this ingenious prison.

MINOTAUR: I would've burned this great city!
VENOM: I stopped you with strings.
MINOTAUR: There's no denying the yearning for great adventure!
VENOM: Adventure does not come without the great cost of fear.
MINOTAUR: Are you a messenger of fear control?
VENOM: I'm an agent, or angel, of planetary diagonals.
MINOTAUR: I suppose you' think I'm a Behemoth.
VENOM: I'm merely a guardian of the gateways to peace!
MINOTAUR: Well, perhaps we can coexist as 'intellectual' rivals.
VENOM: I promise to visit you in your forest cave to play chess.
MINOTAUR: In return?
VENOM: You must promise not to burn down the great American cities.
MINOTAUR: It's a super deal!

Well, not only did Venom manage to subdue the Behemoth Minotaur, but he shooed him away to the forest cave where he preferred to dwell. Venom also then regularly visited his great planetary rival to play him in chess so his mind and heart kept cool and did not entreat the urge to create hell on Earth! The women of Earth were relieved that these two great titans of the organic planet had found some minor way to entreat the yearning for warm destiny.

U.S. PRESIDENT: We present this immaculate Vespa scooter, custom-built with pure valuable silver, to our planetary hero Venom who has managed to subdue, control, calm, and even entertain the Behemoth; we'd been destroyed were it not for such ingenuity, which is why this Vespa reflects our species gratitude and of course monetary imagination!

It was evident that Venom was the modern-day heavenly angel of Earth protection. Gone was the imagination of great heavenly bodies like Athena and Apollo who'd protect humanity from outright World Wars and terrorism, and Venom rose in their place to create a memory or image of splendid heavenly muscularity. Even the great critics of Republicanism were impressed and moved to make honorary artworks even in this modern age of machinery!

VENOM: I just look forward to celebrating creative forms of Christmas-in-July and Irish Christmas ornamentation in New York and Washington, just to celebrate the pure notion that hell can be countered with forms of imagined or conceived dialogue!

MINOTAUR: I remain an adversary of peace and the messenger of darkness, but perhaps Venom has protected this planet from outright disaster, despite humanity's certain interest in warlike diamonds.
