A dark world hospitality/American tale.

Mr. Amlan Satan had found a special source of happiness while driving cross-country selling water-gun toys to consumers as a traveling salesman after making $1M on Wall-St. during the 2009 mini-crash (Ford company), which drew in him special social media culture commentary cleats for lifestyle linked Earthling superstitions of offbeat magic (Facebook-like!).



While trekking, he had to make a pit stop at a hospital when he started experiencing palpitations and was promptly treated by an attending hospital-nurse (Shelbye) who realized he always carried his salesman-bag of water-gun toys with him, even if he was in a restaurant or mall or medical waiting room! She wanted to know why the water-guns were of such obsessive value to Mr. Amlan Satan (Selfie-like).



SHELBYE: You carry that bag...everywhere.
SATAN: Are you some inquiring angel or something, nurse woman (huh)?
SHELBYE: Maybe I'm a ghost.
SATAN: Are you being nihilistic with me or something...since I'm idealistic?
SHELBYE: Seriously...I might be a ghost veiled as an American nurse (for you).
SATAN: For me.
SHELBYE: What you need, friend...is perspective for toys/capitalism use, pal.
SATAN: Well, I guess you never can tell what you learn driving cross-country!
SHELBYE: Don't take my word lightly...you need ghost-magic words for IQ.
SATAN: I'll try to keep my water guns at my motel room (maybe).
SHELBYE: A ghost would want you to like how capitalism is quiet jitters.
SATAN: Mortal thoughts (thanx).



Amlan made his way to a hostel (a motel), where he would get some world-fare reflection (Indian) luchi-bread thanksgiving-diner plate for hospitality chat(s) (online) and think fondly now on what he learned from Shelbye at the cross-country trip midways-stop medical center (hmmm).

JOURNAL: "Bread and money can draw in Americans/men some thought about mortality and quietness...and salesmen might think the carry of treasures/goods/trophies may be leveraged with Earth-distances for (all) jardinieres...if you lose dogma (or life), what you carry maybe is what you store forever (for all)."



"Doing well is the result of doing good. That's what capitalism is all about" (Ralph Waldo Emerson).
