The mystery of the children's concert...

He heard noises under his bed...

Peter was on summer vacations with his parents at a village near the mountains, far away from civilization.
When he went for sleep he could hear the owes and the bats from outside the window but didnt afraid.
A twelve years old boy don't know what fear means.

Get of the bed and kneed to see whats going on down there.

The darkness had spread its mantle and on the wooden floor the light from a hidden entrance made Peter smile and wonder whats hiding there . He pulled the bed quietly with his little strength and unlocked the wooden mystery entry. He picked up the lid and before he saw the stairs where are they leading, the light died. Went to his backpack, which had a lens, and started to get down the stairs.

An empty room.

He wondered where the light and the music, that he had seen and heared earlier went and with his lens he looked closely.
He could swear that he heard childhood voices and music.
In distance, a painting sinking into the darkness and stood still, hiding his beauty from the spectators.

Peter lit it with his lens.

The painting depicted five children around a table with musical instruments while their mother held a little girl.
They looked like they had a celebration and their were happy. He noticed that their home was poor and their little games gave them tremendous joy. Remembered his guitar and felt connected with these children.

(painting: Georgios Iakovidis )

Turned his back to return to his room when the drum beat was heard. ...
He rubbed his eyes and shifted abruptly .
The children from the painting as well as the woman had turned their gaze on him.
It was the first time Peter was afraid.
The older one with his tambour smiled and struck his drum again.
The boy next to him blew into the flute and his sound encircled the body of little Peter who without being able to manage his foot, began to give tempo as he did in his lessons with his guitar.
The lady stand up from her position and approached the surface of the board. Her hand came out of the painting and stretched it to catch Peters.
He felt beautiful peaceful and calm.
He wasn't afraid anymore.
The music mastered his young body and his passion for music pushed him to grab her hand.

He entered the painting to participate in the children's concert, not knowing that he would never return to his real life again.
