Creating Love
by Eugene Baldovino and Heather
There was once an invisible girl who loved to paint colorful landscapes. But she was unhappy because she couldn't share her art. Her first invisible paintings were on canvases. And people who took a moment to glance at them saw nothing. The looks on their faces were blank, as if they had taken a moment to daydream.
Upset by her inability to share, the invisible girl became daring and painted her invisible landscapes on walls. But this time when passerbys saw the walls, they became overwhelmed with the feeling of oppression. They felt trapped and quickly walked away.
The invisible girl's heart became so tortured that she took desperate measures. She decided to haunt someone -- a silent boy who was very lonely because he was afraid to speak.
The silent boy had no friends. People abandoned him because they couldn't talk to him ... even his family. He wanted so badly to connect with other people.
The invisible girl saw the silent boy's sadness and decided to give him her paint brush. Just like a gift from heaven, her paint brush appeared in the silent boy's hand. The silent boy reacted by trying to speak out in excitement, but he could not find the words. Then the invisible girl guided the silent boy's hand and painted a colorful landscape on the ground.
Finally, people noticed and were moved to tears because the colorful landscapes that the silent boy painted on the ground turned real. If he painted a tree, a tree would grow. If he painted a flower, a flower would spring up. And if he painted a river, a river would flow. The silent boy became famous, which made the invisible girl very happy.
But one day, without the invisible girl's guidance, the silent boy painted a colorful landscape that included a portrait of the invisible girl. This time nothing became real. The painting stayed on the ground. And the silent boy, for the first time, wondered where his inspiration came from. Sadly, at that moment the invisible girl vanished from his side.
The silent boy felt something missing inside his heart and it began to break. Then, in a passionate rage he painted himself on the ground next to the invisible girl.
Like a flash of lightning, the silent boy disappeared from reality and lived happily ever after inside the painting with the invisible girl.
From that day on, everyone who saw that very painting fell into a trance and were overcome with love.
