What if you had the ability to paint new realities? With just a simple paintbrush, a palette of your favorite colors, and a blank canvas, you could create anything you wanted... and have it all come true. There's one more thing you need: a pair of green eyes. Not just any green, but a shade so vivid and pure, your eyes themselves could be paintings. You can paint anything-- the sky is hardly the limit. An infinite number of paradises are at your disposal. What could go wrong? 
 Oriah Caster is an artist, an eccentric, spontaneous graffiti painter who lives a lifestyle of constant running and secrecy. It's not like the town doesn't know the colorful murals covering the sides of buildings are by her, but everyone seems to have come to the consensus that if they caught her, they'd look the other way. Her art almost adds a sense of pride and magic to their gloomy town; even the law doesn't really apply to her anymore. People believe Oriah has a mystical quality to her, something that just doesn't let her make genuine friends and relationships. She's a one-woman show-- she doesn't exactly know what it feels like to have a family. Nonetheless, she's created a life for herself right where she is- stargazing every night, watching the same family eat dinner, drawing stray animals in her sketchbook- why should anything change?

He brushed his lips against my jaw, his dark hair falling over his brow. "Open your eyes," he commanded. "Look at me." I followed his orders and looked into the raven-black depths before me. I saw my entranced gaze reflected in his glaring one. "Tell me what you see." I kept on looking at him, searching for something, anything, that remained of the person he used to be. They say the eyes are the windows to the soul. But his eyes were so dark, so empty . . . "Nothing. I see nothing," I whispered. He smirked, his gaze still on me. He pulled away, leaving me feeling cold. "Exactly. You see nothing - that's because there's nothing there." ** How much can a person change in just three years?

"You ungrateful bitch. I keep a roof over your head, and this is the thanks I get?" "You could have killed her," I retort, trying to muster up confidence that I don't possess. "What if she goes to the cops, Dad? That bruise on her face is enough to get you arrested and charged with assault." "What? You mean when she tripped over the mess you made in the kitchen?" His smile is so wicked that it chills me to my core. "She ain't going to the cops. Hell, she'll probably be back here tomorrow." "You're a bastard," I whisper, tears filling my eyes.
