Desire

The Bloody Night

I still could remember how happy she was when she can finish another piece of her artwork. She was a silent but lovely fine young lady. Her eyes were sparkling if she could see her art materials. She was simple.

Painting made her happy. She spent her spare time making an abstract painting of nature. It can make her heart warm and she could find serene happiness. Shanna's dream was to become a famous artist like Vincent Van Gogh. I can see that longing of my beloved sister. I am two years ahead from her but it never stops us to be close to each other.

One night, when I entered her room, I saw her sitting on the floor while looking at her artwork. Her materials were scattered on the floor. I asked her what happened but she just smiled at me and said that she wanted to create a unique artwork. She wanted to make an extraordinary artwork that everyone could remember her and know her. I tapped her shoulder.

After that, she rarely went out in her room. My family didn't bother her because we thought she just wanted to focus her piece. One rainy afternoon, I decided to enter her room. My body was trembling and shaking. I saw the lifeless body of my sister beside the new artwork she made.

We never expect that she would do it because of her desire to create a new artwork of hers. She used her own flesh. After that thing happened, we presented her work at the Art Gallery. Many artists were amazed at her work. Her bloody night artwork became famous. It symbolized her frustration as an artist who always gets rejected. This is what she wanted but she was gone and can no longer feel her popularity. Wherever she is now. I hope she is happy.
