"This is it," I thought, picking up the paint brush. My birthday was here, and I knew Michael was throwing a huge party. I had other plans. I dipped the brush into the vibrant crimson, ready to start the large canvas.

The smell of turpentine swirled in the air. A feeling of comfortable focus settled in my bones. I was where I wanted to be.

The first stroke went down. I had all the time in the world. I felt a serenity that was so familiar.
