"My, what's this? A damsel in distress?"
Startled, my eyes flew open. I was sitting on a park bench, about to doze off. A man in peculiar clothing stood in front of me with a violin at his side. Unwavering emerald eyes stared at me.
"If you're not careful, a wolf might just eat you up," he remarked, sliding into the seat next to me. I could only stare blankly at him. He looked like a chessboard jester, clad in red and black. He leaned in closer to me, an odd smile playing on his lips.
"Is anything bothering you, my dear?"
Finally regaining my voice, I shook my head and managed to choke out, "Nothing really. Just life."
At this his grin widened, putting me in the mind of Cheshire cats without bodies and rabbit holes that never end.
"Ah, I can help you with that. I'll treat you to a private concert sometime." He nodded towards his violin. "I'm quite handy, you know." Reaching inside his vest with slender fingers, he withdrew a card and handed it to me. Flipping it over in my hands, I noticed it was a playing card. The king of diamonds.
Chuckling, he stood and picked up his violin. His features were serene when he called over his shoulder, "Take me up on my offer some time. I promise it'll be grand. I can take all your worries away."
When I woke up, sunlight was streaming through the window and  my head was throbbing. A crumpled card was in my fist.
Eutopia basically means "good place".

This is one of my entries written for *Naimane's contest. Details can be found in the journal entry here: [link] . I'm pretty excited about it. I've been a fan of her style for a while. :) These were really fun to write.

I tried to describe the musician (found here [link]), hopefully it turned out okay?
