The bus ride had taken an age. Now, standing on the sidewalk, Sarah felt the ground beneath her feet was somehow moving. The gallery doors loomed before her. She was certain she was dreaming.

She had painted the portrait of her grandmother, her hair a silver halo, her eyes filled with stories. The painting, entitled “Legacy,” hung prominently in the main room.

A woman, elegantly dressed, gestured at the canvas and spoke, her voice clear. "The depth of emotion is truly remarkable." Sarah felt tears prick her eyes. She felt dizzy with a rush of triumph. Her grandmother's legacy was finally out there.
