She sits in a room full of art.
As each minute passes she imagines the masterpiece.
Painstakingly stroking each detail into place. As the colors mix a picture starts to form.
Bright colors clash with dark.
Each brush stroke filled with little bits of her heart.
Her sketches are anything but ordinary.
each detail worked on thousands of times.
but this painting is different from the sketches.
As she continues painting her heart slowly starts to diminish.
The painting almost finished she feels weak.
As she falls to the ground she looks at the painting .
Looking back at herself, she sees her heart delicately painted on the canvas.
