The Mirror has Glass

A Story by Abishai100
"

(Fictional) claim of media-woman with eyes of the American lore-fabled Horseman for vanities/magazine-culture hypnosis of 'overground' ruins.

"
American superstition yarn. Happy Holidays!

====

MEDIA LADY: I tell you truly, this stalker is the Headless Horseman from lore.
INTERVIEW: Fan of Washington Irving's story, eh?
MEDIA LADY: Maybe my forays into fashion-IQ drew in me American interest, ok?
INTERVIEW: Maybe you posted something on social media for the stalker to find.
MEDIA LADY: That's good reading, pal...me thinks this is invisible Horseman image.
INTERVIEW: So, you insist he's not just a regular-Joe but the Headless Horseman.
MEDIA LADY: I know I sound incompletely-insane, but I saw it/him in a cemetery.
INTERVIEW: The Headless Horseman?
MEDIA LADY: I guess you think the stalker's just a sports/fashion nut (Facebook).
INTERVIEW: This is stranger humor (Facebook-like!).



PSYCHIATRIST: Don't go flaunt this conjecture all over the magazines, hon.
MEDIA LADY: I'm mired in capitalism and magazines, and I know it, doc.
PSYCHIATRIST: You saw the Headless Horseman in a cemetery, you say.
MEDIA LADY: He had a pumpkin in his hand, for this holiday-season, yeah!
PSYCHIATRIST: Maybe he just hid his head beneath cape and costume, hon.
MEDIA LADY: Oh, I've already entertained the notion of such prankster-evils.
PSYCHIATRIST: Something in your American fibers made you think Horseman.
MEDIA LADY: I made a fashion image mosaic about American traditions.
PSYCHIATRIST: You doubt he's just a media-stalker prankster making fun.
MEDIA LADY: Something in the visage of the Horseman I saw was personal, doc!
PSYCHIATRIST: Personal (Selfie-like?).
MEDIA LADY: No one wants a fashion-magazine girl to be Ichabod Crane, right.
PSYCHIATRIST: I said no such thing, hon...maybe you're dreaming of folklore.
MEDIA LADY: Maybe (Facebook-like).



DETECTIVE: I'm happy to track any other media woman claiming such things.
MEDIA LADY: Thanks, friend...I'm sure I'm the lone-target of this Horseman.
DETECTIVE: We'll certainly, at least, find some prints for anyone seeking stalking!
MEDIA LADY: That's all I (actually) need to clear my sullied named here (prestige).
DETECTIVE: Did you post anything unusual about Washington Irving in the media?
MEDIA LADY: I said Ichabod Crane would impress many-a media doll these days!
DETECTIVE: Aha, and maybe this stalker-man, in costume, despised intelligentsia.
MEDIA LADY: Maybe (Selfie-like).



MOM: Impressive...a silver-metal alarm-door for your Angeles-haven pad!
MEDIA LADY: I dunno what this (all) means, mother, but I need brain-calm.
MOM: You need medication, doll.
MEDIA LADY: I know it's the Headless Horseman frightening me (for gossip).
MOM: Well, maybe you just need a cool man in your life...like Clark Gable.
MEDIA LADY: Maybe Mr. Gable would agree to be Ichabod Crane (for me).
MOM: Don't fear, doll...there's always doors of vanities for Earthling football.
MEDIA LADY: Selfie-like (thanx).
