STORY STARTER

Your character is an artist who has always painted the same, unknown woman for decades. One day, she walks into their studio.

You could focus on the emotions of the artist when this happens, or try to account for how it would be possible.

Life From A Canvas

Some people say that one moment, one action, can change a person’s life forever. That’s exactly what happened to me the second she walked into my life. It was a slow Saturday afternoon on the 17th floor of my New York City studio apartment on Park Avenue. I was staring out my window, desperately searching for inspiration, hidden amongst the gorgeous New York skyline. All of my life as an artist, I had painted the same things over and over again; my city’s skyline, random people, and…her. A 30 or so year old woman, long copper hair, icy blue eyes, a white dress with blue flowers, brought to life from the endless depth of my imagination. How, I don’t know. Why, a question I don’t know how to answer. After about an hour, my eyes and the rest of my body, couldn’t take another minute looking at the skyscrapers that where my life. So, I decided a nap wouldn’t hurt. I violently slammed my blinds down and stormed off to my bedroom. After five minutes of solitude, a soft knock came from my door. I threw the covers off my bed and marched to the door. “What do you want?,” I cried out of pure annoyance, before I realized who was at the door. 30 or so years old. Long copper hair. Stunningly gorgeous icy blue eyes. A short white dress with blue flowers. No…it couldn’t be. “Hello Callum,” the woman greeted shyly. My eyes widened and my jaw hit the floor. “Who…how,” I stuttered. “No, you…you can’t actually be-be real”. The woman shrugged. “Well, I do think that I am pretty real,” she replied. “But enough small talk. You need to come with me.” “Why?,” I asked nervously. “Your life depends on it, that’s why. Now hurry up if you don’t want to die.”
