Can American Homeland residence sports-treasure keepers (a married couple) evade a 'leviathan' of home-invasion/theft 'purge' dribble?

An American culture compaction omen inspired by the original The Purge (Ethan Hawke). Thanks for reading,

Amlan and Danica had become pronounced hockey-culture aficionados in the American Homeland of cyber-conversations of fanfare and competition-windows and Selfie-commentary language-arts before they revealed a very-special 'field goal' treasure for Thanksgiving-TV culture for American purge imagery (sure).



AMLAN: This Homeland-Jersey town-house we share is the Dream, Danica wife.
DANICA: Well, hubby; the American Dream is hours; our football-storyboard's IQ!
AMLAN: The Matt Stafford Detroit-city Thanksgiving-QB rookie treasure is good?
DANICA: Surely is, hubby; Detroit's a Thanksgiving-football TV town; it's right.
AMLAN: This town-house is then our studio of American culture miracles.
DANICA: Good for sanity (Facebook-like).



STRANGER: Knock, knock, Mr/Mrs Satan!
AMLAN/DANICA: May we help you, stranger?
STRANGER: It's Halloween Eve, and I've been eyeing your football cyber-boards.
AMLAN/DANICA: You're a fan of Detroit-Thanksgiving TV football culture.
STRANGER: Surely, Mr/Mrs Satan...but this Halloween (masked) visit is symbolic!
AMLAN/DANICA: We're keeping the chain secured and talking through the slit.
STRANGER: Don't trust me (wise)?
AMLAN/DANICA: What do you wish to confer here, stranger (Happy Halloween)?
STRANGER: I want your Matt Stafford card, Mr/Mrs.
AMLAN/DANICA: What's it?
STRANGER: Refuse me this honor-trophy, and we'll burn your house down!
AMLAN/DANICA: "We"?
STRANGER: I'm a rep of a new cult-of-anarchy for Halloween, a purge of Hell.
AMLAN/DANICA: Domestic terrorism, stranger?
STRANGER: We select those who have treasures/trophies for collection and fires.
AMLAN/DANICA: What, like book-burnings and sports-cards theft, stranger?
STRANGER: Do you dare refuse my offer to pardon your lives, Mr/Mrs?
AMLAN/DANICA: This Detroit-Thanksgiving QB rookie-card trophy is sacred!
STRANGER: What's it (Happy Halloween)?



The masked Halloween season visiting stranger was quite serious and insisted he was part of some masked American Homeland cult-ritual to select trophies/treasure for keep and fires to pardon the owners/residents for an anarchy-message from Hell. Well, Amlan/Danica knew their Matt Stafford Thanksgiving-TV culture rookie-QB 'gem' of Super Bowl premonitions/competition culture was indeed a great trophy, but they knew their students/fans/players wanted to praise their work with their continued holiday-season trophy-image mounted storyboards on social media. They didn't want to dare refuse the Halloween stranger, and they found his incomplete-distances 'claim' of a damned purge of theft/threat something of a (secret!) hellmouth. What in the world would get them out of this media-world bind (now)?



AMLAN/DANICA: We've a special proposition, Halloween stranger.
STRANGER: What's it, Mr/Mrs?
AMLAN/DANICA: We'll give you our collection of fancy-hair Asian Barbie-dolls.
STRANGER: What's it, Mr/Mrs?
AMLAN/DANICA: Why not make a statement about Crazy Rich Asians (cinema)?
STRANGER: That's clever, Satans.
AMLAN/DANICA: We've found you an 'alternative' dowry, Halloween stranger.
STRANGER: Fine (farewell/thanx).

Amlan and Danica found the right-stuff miracle to evade the 'leviathan' of anti-American home-invasion and placed-in a very advanced security-system in their Homeland-Jersey town-home, where they'd hoped to share the American Dream of securities and sanity...and forget about that stranger message of 'purge' dialysis document (for end zones and Selfie-downs).
