The Creature of the Violin

A gentle ripple of the mellow river passed through the grassy surrounding it. The grass was ripely green and flowing in the soft breeze. The breeze was silent yet made some effect on the beautiful landscape. A man sat down in respect of his surroundings. He was gentle strumming a soothing tune on his guitar as he kept his deep brown eyes concentrated on looking at the river flow. His hands played with perfect precision and plucked the strings without strain. His brown hair slid by his cheeks. His face seemed expressionless as he continued with his tune. Nothing else mattered to him apart from the atmosphere he was experiencing. He was in the moment. From a small distance behind the man, there was a figure of long, ash and grey hair. As the man continued to play his guitar, the figure walked away yet still keeping an eye on the guitar player.

The man's guitar playing came to a melodic end. He gracefully put his guitar down. Without warning, he turned behind him to see the figure walking away. Thinking nothing of it, the man picked up his guitar and stood. Suddenly, he heard a faint yet distinct tune from a violin. He felt a compelling but mysterious instinct to follow the sound. As he walked closer towards where the figure was, he played a soft tune with his guitar that matched that of the violin. Eventually, the man reached the figure. Her appearance was rough and her hair was like straw yet she made elegant movements and neat violin sounds. The man was drawn closer to the presence of the mystifying woman. They did not need to speak in tongues to each other. They spoke through their instruments. The woman's playing was especially luring towards the man with a strange feeling of intent. An attraction developed which led to the guitar tune to become more passionate. After what seemed like hours of playing, they gently put down their instruments. Even though they no longer held their instruments, the music kept on going. The man surrendered to the woman he had just met for the first time and had almost immediately become attracted to.

However sweet the attraction seemed, it was to turn. As the man let down all of the barriers of protecting his harboured feelings, the woman was only to be given the opportunity for she was a mythological creature known as The Creature of the Violin. Through her violin, she was able to distract the man and lure him from the safety of the open atmosphere he played in. The man consummated his passion for the woman. What he was unaware of was that the woman was looking into his tender soul and shrewdly stealing it away. The woman left with her violin, leaving the man upon the bark and the wet soil of the woods.
