The monster called me up. Told me that if I tell Susanna what he did to her at the last summer, he will eat me up. I told him, that Susanna is one of my best friends and I have to tell her. I did not tell her yet, just because of lack of opportunity. I wanted Susanna be strong... when I am going to tell her that terrible thing. And Susanna still wasn't strong enough to hear the truth. Susanna still suffered from all those injuries and horrible memories.

The monster asked for my permission to come over to my apartment and trying to convince me -- never tell Susanna the truth.
I told him... it will be waste of time... he doesn't have to come over because I already made up my mind. The monster become very angry... started to shout at me over the phone... called me all kind of nasty names... but I would change my mind.
Then suddenly there was a silence... I couldn't hear anything... It seemed to me the monster gave up... and put down the phone.

As I was preparing a cup of coffee... I heard the doorbell rang. The monster stood at the door. He grabbed me on my throat
and started to strangle me. I whispered him... leave me alone... if I won't tell to Susanna, somebody else will tell her. I am not the only person who knows what you did to Susanna last summer. I am one of her best friends... but I am not the only person... Telling him those things didn't help me... now the monster eased his grip on my throat -- he take off one hand from my throat... but the next moment he started to give me boxes into my stomach... It hurt... it hurt very much...

I knew that Kevin has to be arriving at any moment... so I didn't scream. Kevin indeed arrived... but at the moment Kevin entered the apartment the monster took out from his trousers' pocket his cap... and put it on his head. That cap made him ... invisible... and of course I couldn't scream. What Kevin will think of me? Why I am screaming? What happened to me? Kevin couldn't see anything from all those things that the invisible monster did to me.

Finally I couldn't take any more pain... and collapsed to the floor. Kevin didn't see lying on the floor, quenching from all those terrible pain... because he was already at the bathroom... taking a shower. The invisible monster wanted to show me... how nice a person he was... and he told me... if you promise me not telling t Susanna what I did her at the last summer, I'd stop torture you.

I told him ... that I know how to suffer... I used to it... so if he wants ... he can continue to torture me. The invisible monster... didn't like to hear what he heard. He wanted me to plea him... to stop... he wanted me to promise not to tell. It seemed to me that without my showing my suffering the invisible monster wouldn't continue to torture me. I was right on that part. The invisible monster stopped bit me up... But I wasn't right on the torturing part... The invisible monster, at the moment stopped bit me up... entered to my son's room and continue to with the torturing... now he tortured him... till my son passed out.

One day when I turned on my computer I saw a lot of invisible monsters on my computer screen, some of them were dancing some type of victory dance and some of them were jumping in and out of my hard disk. I reached for my phone and called up one of my friends who was recognized as one of the best 'monster protector' program's author in the world. As I waited him to pick up the phone - one of the monster made a funny face at me and shouted: Nobody can protect you... no... nooooo... nooo... we are so many... we are so strong... we are everywhere... it is a waste of time ... put down that phone!

My friend pick up the phone and asked me: 'How are you... what can I do for you today'. I told him that I found a lot of little invisible monsters in my computer and I would like him to send me one of his latest 'monster protector' program by his gofer boy. He told me that he can not do that... he loves me so much.. but yesterday evening he got the visit of four visible monsters and they told him that probably I would call in the morning... and they told him also that he can not give me that 'monster protector' program... because if he would... they will demolish all the empire of his... that he liked so much. He was really one of my those friends who always helped me... even if they got punished for it. So, I really got sad this time... But it turned out that it was too early to be sad... my friend came over and wrote directly the main parts of the 'monster protector' program into my computer... and those invisible monsters run away... When he finished writing... and saw that his program works -- he smiled at me and said: they didn't tell me that I couldn't write it directly into your computer... 

Note and thanks:

Reading Meli's words I realized that I always thought that I live in a magic bubble*... that protect me from harm... and I always thought that magic bubble got it cracks by ugly invisible monsters... and beautiful faeries repair those cracks... sometimes at the moment the cracks have been made... sometimes that repairing process takes time... so my life somehow in some kind of strange equilibrium... that maintained by ugly monsters and beautiful faeries.
