Welcome to Lucy's page. Let me
introduce Lucy to you. She is
Jim's fairy muse. She more or less adopted Jim when she saw him
struggling to tell a tale to his friends one night. Taking pity
on him, she
sprinkled story tellers dust on his head and a great tale formed
inside his mind. Before he knew what was happening, the words
began to fly across the page. Much to his amazement when he
glanced to the left, he saw this little blue fairy sitting on his
shoulder
reading his words as they took shape on the screen. Every now and
then she would lean over and whisper in his ear and the words
would
again flow across the page. Lucy would sit there until the story
was
done. Then she would take wing and flit away to do other fairy
things.
Jim and Lucy's
relationship isn't always an easy one. Sometimes
Jim wants to tell a tale but Lucy is busy doing other things,
like
smelling the flowers in the fairy glenn. She ignores him even
though
he is asking her nicely for a hint of a tale to tell. Sometimes
she gets
so excited about a new tale that she bugs him till he, at least,
writes
the idea down, even if he is at work. She can be persistent when
it
comes to story telling. She has a brother named Luigi who is like
that
too, but that is a tale for another day.
Being a kind hearted man, Jim gave Lucy to a friend one day to
help the friend tell a few tales. But Lucy knew something that
Jim
didn't know. Lucy could only help Jim. So she wandered back to
him
the first chance she got. She knew that Jim needed her more than
anyone else. Besides, when a fairy picks you to be the story
teller
and to help you tell the tales, then the fairy is yours forever
and just
can't work with another person. I'm not sure if this is a fairy
law but it
just seems to always be that way.
This
page is dedicated to Lucy and all the other fairy muses
who bring such delight to young and old alike with their
whispered tales.
