A Short Story About Artist on Social Media
The ache on her back woke her up before the alarm on her phone. Laying on a foam mattress on the cold floor, the old red blanket smelt like wet dog. Who needs a bed frame anyway?
No need for pyjamas neither, she woke up already wearing today’s outfit, which was also yesterday’s outfit. The ultimate minimalist capsule wardrobe.
She microwaves yesterday’s old cup of coffee and pinches out the moldy bits from the bread crust. Breakfast is ready. She takes a moment to visualise the day ahead and what she hopes to accomplish.
Before her stands the easel with her latest piece. Weeks of dreaming and sketching to refine her vision, followed by spending her last savings on art supplies, and finally, 72 hours of raw passion mixed with paint on canvas.
Time for the great reveal. She takes several pictures on her phone, choosing the one that felt right, and post…
She got 3 likes on her post. The End.
