"Well, this is a… surprise!" Serena, a textile artist, exclaimed with a gasp, but her eyes were practically sparkling. Her woven tapestries, normally hanging in a dusty studio, had been installed in a prestigious museum.

She drifted through the gallery, smiling at the reactions of the crowd. The lights caught the shimmering threads, making the colors sing. She felt a peculiar kind of giddy satisfaction.
