Mr. Amlan Satan wandered into town for a beast-extermination dilemma in the backyard woods of a lovely New Jersey hotel where he once enjoyed a vacation-stay as a boy, but this was to be no ordinary assignment tale, since his employer shorted him on his earned fee of our Selfie-consumerism commentary culture of incomplete-lines readings for traffic-securities citizenry image.

DANICA (Wife): You want to hypnotize child-guests at the hotel lobby now?
SATAN: Revenge, wife; they'll think their shorted employee is stealing hearts!

DANICA: Like in Hamelin (Germany).

SATAN: Sports-culture for Selfie-pokes of derived helmet-laughter (revenge!).

The hotel manager, Satan's employer, still refused the payment correction, though the diabolical 'piper' plan seemed to freeze-hearts and give pause/cause for concern; and suddenly, everyone wondered if (somehow) Amlan was the Piper of Hamelin reincarnated for bad-tidings, despite his obvious charm-success with beast-removal in the woods (Selfie-like).

MANAGER: At least that wolfen-specter be gone!

EMPLOYEE (Hotel): Sir, perchance we pay the other half and rid ourselves of Satan.

MANAGER: He's no devil...he'll lose heart and depart like that wood-beast.

EMPLOYEE (Hotel): We don't want a Hamelin-veil for street-gossip, sir.

MANAGER: Maybe you're right...this is a time of contract-arts (Facebook).

DANICA: Why so stern pre-flight to Brussels, darling?
SATAN: Ghosts of Hamlet, Danica; I became acrobatic as psyche-mechanism.

DANICA: Challenging childhood, darling?
SATAN: You said it; alcoholism, neglect; infused me a metal-mask demeanor.

DANICA: Fiction!

SATAN: Nevermind...we make for Belgian-waffles and cartoons (TV).

Amlan/Danica flew to Belgium for home-therapy and left-behind the memory of the New Jersey hotel of bad-contract (paychecks) image; they kept it secret (too!). Danica found in her darling 'piper of 21st-Century Earth' a special chemical 'reaction' for all things acidic, touchdowns, art, paranoia, darkness, and perchance dialysis (for the Ego!).
