Stranger (of a South Jersey Quilting)

Newlyweds of the Homeland encounter a stranger change, in this adaptation of the eerie masked home-invasions 'Sheol' series/films.

The Strangers fanfiction, set in a place of Earth called Echelon (NJ), where I lived (incidentally!),

AMLAN: This is a nice suburbia area, with mall-and-library...Echelon (Jersey).

DANICA: With Halloween Eve approaching, we're to mingle-in pre-Oct. 30, hubby.

AMLAN: Yes, the night before Halloween, Devil's Night...omens of pushers.

DANICA: We need to feel like cozy-clean cool by that hour, Selfie-like (ok).

It was a gorgeous area of Earth, a suburbia corner of South Jersey (American Homeland), a place called Echelon, were newlyweds (Amlan/Danica) settled as Halloween Eve approached; and the two Algerian-American Catholic citizens, both home-working architecture-design consultants, hoped to be assimilated into the world of that place, its folks, by Devil's Night, the sometimes mischief-prone night of pranksters and vandals in the Halloween season of tricks and treats and spooks and night-view, if by chance they'd be marked as newcomers with greenbacks for pushing.

That Halloween season, Danica decided that by Oct.-30's eve, she'd have a 'fantastic' table-setting of season's harvest-colors and ornaments and a tasty pumpkin pie with marshmallow specters strewn atop, so if a neighbor wanted to say something greet-friendly, she'd have something to offer. Only, no friendly person showed on Devil's Night (Oct.-30), but a masked stranger with a lethal image (wow).

STRANGER: So, I've tied you two up at silencer-gunpoint, ok.

AMLAN/DANICA: What do you want, lady; and that mask...what's it?

STRANGER: I've a lethal injection in my syringe; and I want respect.

AMLAN/DANICA: Is it something with Devil's Night, the pre-Halloween word?

STRANGER: You're Catholics; I've read your Halloween/neighbor greet-posts cyber.

AMLAN/DANICA: Why this Halloween and why us and why that mask, lady?

STRANGER: I've already explained...it's a Halloween respects ABCD (uncertainty).

AMLAN/DANICA: God hates us.

STRANGER: Happy Halloween (Selfie-like!).

The coroner reported the tragic death of two darlings of Echelon, and they were found simply as corpses the morning of Halloween Day (wow). The Stranger, the masked lady who went by the alias 'Pin-up Girl' was simply vanished. What did she want? Why Halloween, and why in South Jersey (American Homeland) in the year '24 for leviathan/uncertainty? Amlan/Danica wished, pre-murder, that they'd found some more clever adjective for life-settlement(s) to ward-off the invasion-Jabberwocky hand-axes created by the Pin-up Girl with shots from Hell (for the Ego).
