The stroke of the brush against the canvas soothes Pierce's war ridden heart.  The thirty year old,  served in the army and now he's home.  He decides to start teaching an art class, a silly idea at first, but soon it becomes therapeutic to him.  He enjoys watching the musing of young artists.  He enjoys watching her, as she paints.  She paints with vigor and passion.  She pours her heart into her work.  Though she is twelve years younger, he is captured by her work...and by her. For her, art is an escape from the pressures of reality.  Her parents want her to become a lawyer but all she wants is to create and paint.  
  
  Can these two unlikely people meet in the strokes of their brushes to draw a masterpiece of their own?  
  
  Or has fate painted them a different story?

Turn of the Tide | ONC 2023 by Oxviola

[ONC 2023 Shortlister] ['23 RGAs Overall Winner] When the storm comes, who will you choose to ride it out with? In the sleepy coastal village of Porthdruro, the most excitement literature student Sally Tremaine experiences is the coming and going of the tide. So, when she runs into carefree photographer Flick Scott on a routine errand, the waves the girl makes in her life are beyond anything she's seen before. Flick is confident, passionate, and just plain fun - in short, she's everything Sally had never expected to find in her small world. Things aren't all fun and games, though. The rest of the village wants nothing to do with the boisterous traveller, and Sally senses there's something lurking beneath Flick's impulsive character, something she doesn't want Sally to see. And when another stranger follows hot on Flick's heels, Sally faces a choice between staying true to the place she calls home and protecting the girl that could take her beyond the horizon. As the storm draws ever closer, the questions rumbling in Sally's mind grow louder. What brought someone so full of life to a place like Porthdruro? Why is she so possessive of a simple camera? And will the toll of trusting Flick Scott be more than Sally can take? *** Written for #ONC2023. 50. "An attractive, mysterious stranger moves to your small town. While everyone is desperate to make an impression, only you notice something a bit odd about them." 51. "The problem with red flags is that I'm attracted to them."
