The artist, Amelia, felt a sense of quiet joy as she painted her sunrise canvas. Colors swirled and bled, creating a soft, ethereal landscape. The canvas was going to be the best she had ever painted. The article she wrote on the symbolism of the color yellow in ancient art was being published.

A notification popped up on her computer. She clicked it open, and her brow furrowed slightly as she scanned the words. Her article was there. But someone else’s name was on it. She looked at the canvas and smiled.

The sun continued to rise, casting long shadows. She dipped her brush into the yellow paint and continued her work. The light was perfect.
