Here is my entry to the contest of '"Girl for Lord Arcady" There are soooooooooo many great entries already.... but it is Orietta who initiated that contest so I decided to enter in order to honor her :)... I hope that Lord Kim Arcady will like my woman also... and at least he will invite her for a nice cup of coffee... 'Girl for Lord Arcady' As I generally do I would like to present a little story... that has to do with this image: But before I start my story I would like to quote Visualgirl comment on my 'The invisible monster' image: 'Oh, Koty! I am hoping that this dreadful incidence is not real...but I've seen too many bad things in my life to not believe it.... I wish sometimes that I could make a magic bubble around the people that I care about to protect them always from harm...Since I cannot do that, I will send some warm wishes your way! ....' Reading Meli's words I realized that I always thought that I live in a magic bubble*... that protect me from harm... and I always thought that magic bubble got it cracks by ugly invisible monsters... and beautiful faeries repair those cracks... sometimes at the moment the cracks have been made... sometimes that repairing process takes time... so my life somehow in some kind of strange equilibrium... that maintained by ugly monsters and beautiful faeries. * [the 'magic bubble expression coined by visualgirl... and I got her permission to use it] So as you see... this image contain a lot of parts from other people's works... and I consider all of those who allowed me use their work in my image -- as friends -- as my Faeries who are repairing all those cracks that made by ugly invisible monsters. And I also consider each of you ... my RO friends as my friends who help me not just create my images and stories... but help me maintain a better life than it would have been without your comments, IMs, things I get, advises and virtual hugs. ... and of course I thank you sooooooooooooo much for that. So here the story - which is a continuation for the 'The Invisible Monster' Title: The Invisible Monster - part zero [You can find the other part of this story at:] 'The Invisible Monster' One day when I turned on my computer I saw a lot of invisible monsters on my computer screen, some of them were dancing some type of victory dance and some of them were jumping in and out of my hard disk. I reached for my phone and called up one of my friends who was recognized as one of the best 'monster protector' program's author in the world. As I waited him to pick up the phone - one of the monster made a funny face at me and shouted: Nobody can protect you... no... nooooo... nooo... we are so many... we are so strong... we are everywhere... it is a waste of time ... put down that phone! My friend pick up the phone and asked me: 'How are you... what can I do for you today'. I told him that I found a lot of little invisible monsters in my computer and I would like him to send me one of his latest 'monster protector' program by his gofer boy. He told me that he can not do that... he loves me so much.. but yesterday evening he got the visit of four visible monsters and they told him that probably I would call in the morning... and they told him also that he can not give me that 'monster protector' program... because if he would... they will demolish all the empire of his... that he liked so much. He was really one of my those friends who always helped me... even if they got punished for it. So, I really got sad this time... But it turned out that it was too early to be sad... my friend came over and wrote directly the main parts of the 'monster protector' program into my computer... and those invisible monsters run away... When he finished writing... and saw that his program works -- he smiled at me and said: they didn't tell me that I couldn't write it directly into your computer... Thank you for viewing! Have a wonderful weekend!
