STORY STARTER
Historians discover that the Mona Lisa was actually painted by an eight-year-old child prodigy, who was murdered by Leonardo Da Vinci and not given credit.
Write a humorous news article where this is revealed to the public
Da Vinci’s A Fake? (and a murderer??)
_“Do you remember when you were a child, whether you were good or bad at painting?_
__
_Of course, when I was 8, I wasn’t as great as the prodigy who _**actually** _painted the Mona Lisa._
__
_Yes, you heard that right. _
__
_Leonardo da Vinci, in fact, did not paint our famous portrait. Rather, it was an 8-year-old prodigy, just trying to make a name for herself._
__
_Her name was _**_Vannea Poverelli._**_ She was close to the real Mona Lisa, the person behind the portrait. Mona Lisa, when seeing her portrait, had refused to believe this 8 year old painted it._
__
_It was just too good._
__
_When she reported it to her dear friend Leonardo da Vinci, he was repulsed by the 8 year old, for unnameable reasons. Obviously he had wondered, _**How did such a child become better than I?**

_What seemed to be innocent, a man of great skill ‘mentoring’ a prodigy, turned out to be so much worse. Days after this prodigy began her journey of learning, she had been found with no pulse and a rather large bruise on the back of her head. Da Vinci was, surprisingly, not a suspect, even as he stole her precious painting._
__
_Historians, specifically a descendant of _**Mr. da Vinci,** _have found a journal of these events. After scanning several of his signatures, they can conclude this journal was indeed written by our famous artist. To quote Leonardo, ‘Framing a little girl’s death may seem to be rather difficult or shameful, but when you consider my _**career**_, no shame should be taken.’_
__
_So someone you looked up to, might be even worse than you thought._
__
_This is Ainsley Decoralatchi, making it known that _not all who are famous deserve to be._”_

(this was so freaking fun to write for no reason at all. I might write more reports by this Decoralatchi lady. also, none of this is true.)
