Dark Chances: Courtyard Things

A Story by Abishai100

Earthling intrigue for weird gossip comprises this American Homeland hostel-station (Courtyard) dark-tale of physical wandering.

A touch-of-evil for Thanksgiving TV-life.

Mr. Amlan Satan checked into the Courtyard, but so did a gorgeous tennis instructor lady named Ezzy. Now, both inside this American Homeland (Earth) hostel-station for hospitality-comforts and vacation-time, Amlan/Ezzy were distant guests, separated by one room, but listening to each other through the walls, as they both (comparably!) made audio-recording Selfie-journal talks about new-move for life-decisions in the 21st-Century following their (comparable!) decision to find new careers. This was all Courtyard-friendly.

AMLAN: I wonder what that lady's doing inside her room while thinking it.

EZZY: I know this gent-next-door has some life-moves talk like I do (damn).

AMLAN: I find myself thinking of my change from architect to writer (wow).

EZZY: Maybe if I reveal to this guest I've been a tennis teacher, he'll smile?

AMLAN: I might knock on her door to profess my fascination...soon!

EZZY: What if he's some psycho and no architect (Facebook-like)?

One month later, the room of Amlan was empty, and the guest himself had vanished from the face of Earth (wow). Ezzy had checked out (quite normally) some days ago pre-discovery of Amlan's disappearance. Some gossiped the two guests, neighbors of the Courtyard of the American Homeland, courted a steamy affair, and Ezzy bloody-murdered the poor-man for some check he had in his social media investors/pals blue-chips cards filled wallet (Ion-co., etc.); and the only clue (or cue!) left-behind was a toy rifle gun with cleaned/polished body (no fingerprints). Was this foul play or an insurance scam?

Why would Ezzy, a tennis-teacher, want Amlan to vanish from Earth? Did Amlan by-deeds vanish from Earth? No one knows now. However, Ezzy did end up changing careers, leaving-behind sweet-tennis life to become a TV-reporter girl in Brussels (wow). Maybe Amlan was with her there, as a changed-ID man (or prince)...or maybe she was now living off his wallet-holding insurance tokens. Was this darkness or chance gossip (Facebook-like)?
