Photo Of The Day: 07/20/2011 "The Statue And The Genius"

The day dawned cloudy. His mood was like the day before. For the soil. He was aware that should be continued, that a broken heart could not sink to the point of being unable to continue. He had resorted to therapy of friends, to movies to mourn with melodramatic excuse, pajama parties until the wee hours, a chocolate ice cream binge ... nothing could smile back. The blow had been too strong. After so many mutual vows of eternal love, not ready to come home one day and find her "soul mate" in bed with another.

Spent days going from home to work and work at home. Being only a shadow of itself. That Saturday he decided he had lost enough days, nights, hours and minutes of your life. It is proposed to change the course of events, shopping, take a whim and go home again to be a happy woman. Walking through the city stopped to contemplate a plaza, surrounded by stone buildings. Elegant, strong, a reflection of a glorious bygone era. He closed his eyes and wished for a moment to get into another life, a lady helena or Roman. Experience the origins of another civilization. As appeared from nowhere, rose to her being dressed in a way that was familiar. I had seen in the tales of The Thousand and One Nights. It looked like the genius out of a lamp.

- Good morning beautiful lady! Said stereo voice genius.

- This ... Good morning.

- I am the genius of the wishes and have been called. You say you like to travel to ancient Rome?

- Well, maybe I ... yes, I suppose so. He hesitated.

- I can make your wish come true.

- Take me to the ancient Rome!

- Exactly!, But for that you must offer something in return

- And what is it?

- From his body.

- How? Satyr, you rascal! Out of my sight!

- No, please do not misunderstand me, I am a gentleman. I mean, my magic to take effect, you can not continue to exist in both seasons at once, but it can not disappear completely from the current era. We must maintain a way to give back, if after a while you regret the decision. As a bridge between past and present do you understand? - That's better. For a moment I thought you were one of those freaks on the loose. And how can we establish the gateway of which I speak? - Very simple, I will become a stone statue in the world. Right here, decorating the square. Nobody will notice your presence, nor her fault if one day decides to return. His body as we know you will be full and molecularly back to the time and place chosen. What do you say? - But ... what about you win with this - I live to fulfill the dreams of the people. You've dreamed and here I am .- Just like that? - So easy .- Okay, I'll take the risk. I'm ready What do I have to do - Close your eyes, relax and when I count to three, open it slowly. So be on your new life.

One, two, Three.One beautiful statue stood in a quiet side of the plaza. He was hanging on his arm with the shopping bag he had done a few minutes ago. It would have been appropriate in ancient Rome appear loaded with a package labeled in a press moderna.Apenas felt nothing. He opened his eyes slowly and looked around baths, aqueducts, columns, circus ... A new life opened before him. Would you like to return someday?
