On the fifth day

of Emily's now

daily work,

the galaxies had

gotten their finish.

The stars were entirely

there.

The vibrant mix of

such brave

and fierce colors

creating a

vacuum

right in the center.

It resembled a supernova.

If one stared into

the swirling twist

of electric mass

for a moment too long,

it would feel like they

were swimming in it.

The incandescent lights

being their companions.

It was a marvelous sight.

Emily soon

set out to work on the final

character missing in her painting.

The eye.

She grabbed the biggest

brush she could find

and dunked it carefully

into

a bucket of black night paint.

The glossy color was soon

being added to the wall

in neat, calculated strokes.

It seemed like

she had the periphery

of the inexistent eye

memorized.

She didn't hesitate a moment

when the brush met the

stunning wall.

As Emily continued

to work,

she may

have been

far too occupied

with her painting,

for she never for once

noticed the slow crowd that was

forming around her.

And the crowd was so caught

up in admiring that

piece of art,

something completely

out of this world,

so powerful,

so inspiring,

that they too never for once

thought to tell its painter

they were there.

Because

they

were far too lost.

Lost in the world this

simple girl had created

right before their eyes.
