The postman had barely left before Maya was outside, tearing into the package. Addressed to the former owner, a Mr. Peterson, didn’t matter. Inside were all the supplies she needed for her new art project!

She gasped, pulling out the canvases, the paints, the brushes. A rush of euphoria coursed through her. She felt like she could fly. Finally, a chance to unleash the creative storm brewing inside her.

She quickly set up her easel. The colours were vibrant, beckoning her to the canvas. "Yes," she whispered, already lost in the feeling of potential. The world outside faded away. Only the colours, the shapes, the promise of creation remained.
