The Butterfly That Rocked



The music started and the beat picked up. In a Brave New World…. a Brave new World…in a Brave New World…. Louder and louder it went when all of a sudden a fluttering of wings come through the window One of the girls in the room screams and jumps out of her seat. It was such a beautiful butterfly; how could she have been so scared? Perhaps she thought it was a flying cockroach typical in a tropical country. Perhaps she thought it was a bat also typical in this city but not during the daytime. Nonetheless it scared her so much that she did not absorb the beauty and the magic of the moment.

All the others kept their eyes on this beautiful creature that apparently was very keen on the sound of Iron Maiden. As we watched we saw it rest on several locations but its favorite and where it stayed the longest was on the speaker way up high and close to the windows. Its wings moved with each pound of the song. Then, as if it knew the song by heart, it took off as soon as the song came to an end and made its way out the window just stopping for one moment to be registered in the photo.
