For ONC 2026, prompt 117.
Elena, a struggling citizen with two jobs, is currently trying out a new hobby, painting. However, such an art isn't as easy as the shimmering pixels on her phone suggest. But Elena here is a very hardworking person, and so, she continues practicing her skills (or lack thereof) by painting numerous portraits from either her family or historical ones.
One day, after she punches a hole through another one of her failed paintings, she storms off from her studio. To her surprise, a pale and uneasy stranger stands in her path, one devoid of any facial features. A being that is barely keeping itself together.
It, naturally, asks for a portrait.

CHALLENGE ACCEPTED#
"You are the master of yourself. You are a golden soul. Don't lose yourself." That's what my grandma said to me the day before my life twists upside down. I used to be fat. I used to be tortured and disregarded at my high school. People used to call me 'ugly burger'. Trevor, the moron used to flip me to the floor and break my wrist. I used to hate him and I still do. I didn't know what hate means until I met him. I was challenged. I was challenged to change my life for good. I was challenged to love and hate, to laugh and cry, to yell and whisper, to be selfish and loving, to be weak and strong, to be thankful and unthankful, to be happy and sad. My story is what defines me. My story is what makes me who I am today. I accepted hundreds of challenges that made my story worthier to tell.
