August (in NY): Stranger Route

A Story by Abishai100

Amlan and Danica make 'discovery' for cabin-invasion 'consciousness' and offer an Earthling (Buffalo) expression for simple rush.

The Strangers has become an iconic and quite impressive home-invasions theater/exhibition, and this late-Summer yarn is a 'sweetly-cool' adaptation spotlighting its very-special paranoia themes/imagery (for fiction view!).

AMLAN: A Buffalo-NY cabin retreat by the lake with our skin moisturizer (Vaseline) for forgetting Hell.

DANICA: We're a cool duet for vacation-land, my hubby...and this cabin belonged to daddy.

AMLAN: I doubt anyone will bother us for an entire week, and it's August; I'm psyched for Notre Dame.

DANICA: Selfie-culture clutters makes cabin-retreat wonders for stranger magnets for folks-funnies.

Well, Amlan and Danica had prepared for a wonderful cabin-stay, and Amlan was ready to rub Vaseline cream on his darling's streets-work crackled dry-feet that August in New York, and they hoped no one on Earth would think to make 'troubles' for their agenda to simply be at-one with the heavens (for the Ego!). Of course, that's not what happened, friends. Follow along (fan-like).

AMLAN: Someone's banging on the door, babe.

DANICA: You're too busy greasing those Buffalo-wings, eh?

AMLAN: Would you see who it is, damn?

DANICA: Yo, some guy in some sack-head mask is there, holding a hatchet.

AMLAN: Are you making fun of us, babe?

DANICA: Hell thunder, I ain't lying, man...he wants in I think.

AMLAN: Grab some of the Vaseline from our jar; we'll throw it at his eyes.

DANICA: Selfie-like?

The Stranger had invaded their August retreat; Amlan and Danica felt incompletely victimized when he used his lock-pick to open their front cabin door; the two darlings grabbed fist-fulls of Vaseline and hurled it at the sack-head masked man's eyes, disorienting him enough to give Amlan time to grab some spray-freshener and his cigarette lighter to make a flame for desperations for shield/attack/escape. All he wanted to do in that cabin was make love and Buffalo wing lyrics (damn).

AMLAN: He got blinded with the Vaseline and then burned all over with my flame-weapon (ha).

DANICA: Tell me about it when we successfully hop into our speed-boat and zoom out of here, fool.

AMLAN: I didn't know you were skilled at running and speaking at-once, babe.

DANICA: The folks I greet for my Catholic-hubby (damn).

AMLAN: Selfie-like...run from Hell.

Believe it or not, our two August darlings (Amlan/Danica) made it to their cabin-lake parked speedy-boat and zoomed away from the burnt Stranger ('Sack-Head') and contacted authorities and explained there was some masked home-invader/stranger perhaps still alive, prowling around the area of the lake-cabin owned/gifted by Danica's daddy (to her for Summer fun!).
