I wrote this based on a painting from one of my favorite artists. I usually don't like writing in first person or present tense, but I thought it really fit story.
Also, this is still a bit of a work in progress. I include the last paragraph as sort of an epilogue. Please let me know if you think this should be left out to enhance the ending, or leave it in to create more resolve.
If you spot any errors, feel free to point them out as well as offer up any suggestions for improvement.
