Lycanthropy's Echelon

Two college teachers use a 'classic' view for examination of werewolf-material (and myth).

A lycanthropy yarn inspired by varied media. Thanks so much for reading,

AMLAN: We're so comfy in our Homeland-Echelon house by campus.
RAKI: This is a time of examination resourcing and residential-IQ.
AMLAN: It's the face of 21st-Century Earth --- Homeland securities.
RAKI: That's what'll cast our house as a lycanthropy-chess castle!



Amlan/Raki had been great friends since their days at the University in Pennsylvania and were now theosophy-teachers working on a special lycanthropy 'examination' in the 21st-Century Homeland (America) drawing interest in social-media culture imagery for networks...and hope.

AMLAN: Werewolves speak to instincts of the moon/blood/focus.
RAKI: A lycanthrope (werewolf) surfaces, and we feel 'natural' dread.
AMLAN: Werewolves can be good/bad, given the psyche of the human.
RAKI: We therefore study the 'fabric' of social-IQ for the beast within.
AMLAN: If werewolves are real, social-media comments are rosy!
RAKI: Truly, pal; there's much cyber-net 'personality' in Earth-life.



Amlan/Raki were convinced there was a lycanthrope/werewolf lurking in the forests of the Pine-Barrens and procured a very 'ancient' werewolf hunting/tracking kit-box from their university (Pennsylvania) and entered the dark mist of the woods and prepared to either negotiate with a 'good' lycanthrope...or destroy an 'evil' one (wow).



AMLAN: I see the man-wolf (creature) now, Raki.
RAKI: Yes; it's very-much like a man and a wolf combined (Jesus!).
AMLAN: I'll call to it from above (climbing that tree).
RAKI: It's knelt/napping, and we've the time for method/chess.
AMLAN: If it lunges in fury, we shoot or splash our acid-poison mix.
RAKI: Hopefully we can adapt this 'adventure' into cyber-art(s).
AMLAN: Preferred to creating a panic about the lycanthrope's life.



Amlan/Raki won the Pulitzer for their co-written work about lycanthropy, titled (appropriately) Pine Barrens Secret (Werewolf), invoking historical/modern images of animalia-spirits superstitions, forest/naturalism instincts, relevance for urbanization prowess/stealth symbolism, and overall metaphysical fascination with the 'roundness' of the study of 'wolfen' matter. However, they kept the secret of the werewolf they encountered whom they did not shoot but allowed to scurry away when it awoke and immediately sensed their human presence(s).

AMLAN: "The lycanthrope creates Earth-redness of instinctual Hell."
RAKI: "The image of the hero-wolf is one of negotiated ethics."
AMLAN: When we think of imagery of perdition, we think of life.
RAKI: Reference(s) for high-metaphysics casts a 'social' energizer.



When Amlan/Raki were invited to a summer-Cali fashion gala offering a cool dystopian post-Orwellian 'survivalism' themed presentation of futuristic design blended with classic-lines of 'gypsy' magic, they thought about their 'examination' of the Wolfen-heart and the civilization 'urge' to hybridize survival with ferocious focus for harnessed 'social' consciousness (wow).



INTERVIEW: Do you think lycanthropes exist/burgeon?
AMLAN: Sure...there's a 'space' for screaming magnetism.
RAKI: Wolfen-beings appreciate cheesy croissants as much as others!
INTERVIEW: Thanx...seems you two've become 'Wolfen' marksmen.
AMLAN: For social media (and croissant-bread).
RAKI: Thanx.



What do you make of this adventure-tale of 'academic' magnetics, concerning Amlan/Raki, University 'maestros' of Pennsylvania? Perhaps their (secret!) encounter with a lycanthrope will magnify our mod-Earth view for what's real/surreal and reflect our ongoing 'human' negotiation(s) about the quality of fortune's (unique) watch-men (for all).
