Song : Peacock Affect The Fall
"Hello Kelly"
"Hi Clark, i have got something exciting for you to do today."
"What is it?"
"Well as part of your therapy, you get to paint today."
"Really? No way?"
"Are you trying to be sarcastic?"
"No no, sorry if it came out wrong, i loved painting i did a lot of abstract paintings in my youth."
"Loved? why does it sound like you stopped?"
"One time my mum destroyed my paintings, she said that they scared her, and i guess in my efforts to protect her and her health.. i just stopped."
"Well, its okay now. You are free to do whatever you want."
"So i can paint anything?"
"Yes anything, paint what you feel and what you have always wanted to say."
"This is going to help me feel better?"
"Yes, because it will help you channel whatever emotions you feel into art."
"You make it sound pretty exciting."
"It is, i would love to see the masterpieces you create."
"You think i can create masterpieces?"
"You can do anything you set your mind to."

"Well let me see now"
"I am not finished just a little more."
"Come on you have to be done, i have waited for a really long time."
"You said you wanted a masterpiece, and that's what you are gonna get"
"Come on.. please, i am dying to see it."
"Hold on.. one last stroke.."
"Done! You can look now."

'Clark... its so beautiful.. i.. its.."
"Man i mean you really meant it when you said you would make a masterpiece. What are the feelings behind the colours?"
"The dark colours show the sad days, but as they get lighter they show my happier days."
"That is really cool"
"Oh you haven't seen the cool part yet "
Clark walks towards the painting and flips it upside down.
"Clark.. how did you..? The masterpiece.."
"Is a drawing of you."
