Once upon a time, there was a ladybug who was living in a huge and
noisy city of humanland. His name was called into his holy, tiny ear as
“Luca” as soon as he opened his ladybug-eyes first time. Don’t think
that there is a typing mistake that the writer wrote “he” instead of
“she”. It has been forgotten long time ago why ladybugs are called
“ladybugs”.
Luca woke up in the middle of the night with the
music-kind-of-noise coming from the bathroom. He was curious about the
musician who was playing drums there. So Luca wore his slippers and
entered the bathroom. However he couldn’t see anyone. It was a big
disappointment for the dreamer Luca. It was just the water dropping from
the tap. He turned it off and kept dreaming:
He is a well-known
singer right under the warming lights of the stage. The concert hall is
full of ladybugs who bought their tickets months before the show and
ladybug journalists with their tiny cameras. Nothing and nobody is
moving in the room but Luca’s voice like the waves in the ocean. He puts
a spell on his audience.
Suddenly, a human being appears on the
top of the stage. It gets closer to Luca. Luca is not sure at that very
nervous moment whether this particular human being would bring good luck
to him. He hesitates in the depth of his thoughts but he keeps singing,
singing, singing…
When Luca opened his eyes, he was on
something smooth. It was warm and soft as silk. Before he realized that
he must have run away long time ago, this smooth-being had started to
move. The last thing Luca thought: “God, is it a humanquake?”
The
dream was over and he’s still singing somewhere no one sees. His red
suit with black spots became a part of the universe. Maybe not happily
lived forever but definitely forever as a “happily singing Luca”.
