Amlan and Danica moved into neighboring homes in the Miami-Dade area of the Orange State and became sports (American football) writers with special complement circus-comics stick figure avatar doodles as pseudonym imagery, a goblin and a harlequin (respectively) symbolizing Earthling/urban superstitions of frivolous paranoia (for competition of course!).

AMLAN: We'll cast some special Xmas-season light for this Orange-State card.

DANICA: I've chosen the Baker Mayfield Bucs football card for its orange-IQ.

AMLAN: Oh, right...Baker played for Cleveland...orange colored team uniform.

DANICA: Shall complement holiday season ornaments/frills for Xmas, surely.

AMLAN: We're really Ozzie and Harriet of the cartoon-football world now!

DANICA: Happy Xmas, darling (ok).

Our two darling writers/patriots of the Orange-State were about to receive a shock from Hell (not Facebook-like). You see, their casting of cartoon Earthling ornaments/avatars for football card/trophy superstitions storyboards in Miami (America) invited some masked sociopaths into the universe of Western culture/lifestyle commentary nihilism or skepticism. The two psychos called themselves the Strangers and made mark of Amlan/Danica as prototype social-media culture diplomats of consumerism and sports and fashion (hmmm).

STRANGERS: We want that card you enchanted online, Mr/Mrs.

AMLAN/DANICA: We're not a couple, only neighbors here, Strangers.

STRANGERS: Danica has been over for tonight to drink and watch football eh?

AMLAN/DANICA: It's Monday night in Miami...and you refer to our Baker card?

STRANGERS: You wrote about Mayfield in Tampa and cartoon omens of Lombardi.

AMLAN/DANICA: Baker's one of the hot-new gen QBs with promise of Bowl-lore.

STRANGERS: Sure, Matt Stafford's already got a new-gen Lombardi-laurel, ok.

AMLAN/DANICA: What do you want?

STRANGERS: It's Xmas...and we want one of you to gift us your Baker card.

AMLAN/DANICA: We both have a copy, Strangers.

STRANGERS: You decide who forks their copy, and that person may live.

AMLAN/DANICA: Oh, the other is bloody murdered, Strangers?

STRANGERS: Isn't that fair enough (Facebook-like)?

What did the Strangers want? They knocked on Amlan's door that night in the Orange-State in the happy-Xmas season of lights/football, and Danica had been over that night (Monday) drinking and watching American football with Amlan (damn). Now they had a choice of Hell. Whoever forked over their copy of the American superstitions-charmed symbolic Baker Mayfield Bucs football card would survive...and the other would be bloody murdered by our two masked psycho antagonists...who called themselves Strangers (not Facebook-like).

POLICE: So, you say you told them you loved each other and they needed 1 copy.

AMLAN: I told the 'Strangers' I was in love with Danica and they'd need 1 copy!

POLICE: So, you gave the Strangers your Baker card copy and they accepted?

AMLAN: I had to prove to the Strangers that Danica and I were a pair/couple.

POLICE: Love saves the day and helps two Miami folks evade a death-choice.

AMLAN: That's the story...we've no idea who they were (masked), chief.

POLICE: I believe you...maybe this was simply an Xmas-invasion omen of IQ.

AMLAN: Maybe the Strangers made a prank-gesture about accidental love.

POLICE: Careful what you wish for...God bless you.
