Once upon a time,
the two greatest circus performers in the world.
An escapologist,who could escape from any lock that was ever invented,
and an acrobat,who was so skilled it seemed as if she could actually fly.
Fell in love and got married.
They performed some of the most incredible stunts together that anyone had ever seen.
And people would come for miles around,kings,queens,celebrities and astronauts.
And not just to see their skills but also to see their love for each other,
which was so deep that it was said that cats would purr as they passed them,
and dogs would weep with joy.
They moved into a beautiful old house on the edge of town
and in the evenings they would walk and take the air.
And each night the children of the town would wait in anticipation,
hoping for a glimpse of the shining white scarf that the acrobat always wore.
For then they knew they had only to cry“Tricks tricks!”
And the great performers would instantly oblige with the most spectacular show just for them.
But although they loved each other,
Although they were famous and everyone loves them,
They were sad.
(We have everything...)
“We have everything the would has to offer”says the wife
(We have everything...)
“but we do not have the one thing in the would we want most”
(but the one thing...)
“we do not have child”
(Patience my love...)
“Patience my love.”the husband replied,
“time is on our side,even times loves us.”
Aw Matilda...
But time is the one thing no-one is master of.
And as time passed they grew quite old and still they have no child.
At night they listened to the silence of their big empty house
and they would imagine how beautiful it could be
if it is filled with a sounds of a child playing.
Matilda,this is very sad.
Do you want me to stop?
Don’t you dare!
Their sadness overwhelmed them and drew them on to ever more dangerous feats.
As they work became the only place they could escape the inescapable tragedy of their lives!
And so it was they decided to perform the most dangerous feat ever known to man!
“It is called...”
said the husband,announcing the event to the world’s press,
who had gathered to listen with bated breath.
“The Burning Woman Hurling Through the Air,
with Dynamite in Her Hair,
over Sharp and Spiky Objects,
Caught by the Man Locked in a Cage,
and it is the most dangerous feat,ever known to man!”
“It is our destiny”said the wife ,smiling sadly and slipping her hand into his.
“it is where the loneliness of life has led us.”
