Can't we express our anger when someone has sabotaged our hard work and messed up our paintings?" "Yeah, let's stay calm," Nina affirmed. "We don't know who did this or their intention. Losing our temper won't solve anything." Brittney's eyes narrowed as she stared at the empty space where the brushes should have been. Her face contorted with frustration and anger, and she clenched her hands into fists. "St

I pull out and drive home. Every fiber of my body wants to stop at a bar. Every inch of my insides wants the amazing sensation of being numb, to block out my emotions and stress, and to just lay around and feel nothing like I used to. But as I drive home and park in my stall, I realize something. It's not worth it, and maybe, just maybe, Anna isn't either.

The strokes of the paintbrush become a rhythm, a cathartic dance on the canvas. Amara's eyes are distant, her gaze fixed on a place beyond the four walls that confine her. She paints with a feverish intensity, each stroke an attempt to distance herself from the haunting memories of the night before.

What counts is sticking to the steps laid out. That day, sunlight slants through the window just right. Suddenly, Beatrice shifts how she moves things forward. Gone is the worn poetry book from before. Sitting there instead - a slender wooden case, smooth to look at. Without hurry, she lifts the lid and sets it flat on the tabletop. Nestled in soft blue fabric inside: delicate paintbrushes, pans of dried color, plus thick sheets meant for wet strokes. “I thought you might express what you can’t say,” she suggests, her voice honeyed. “The visions. Paint them for me. The colors, the shapes. It might be a relief.”

It seems like her mind suddenly knows what these people should look like. What did a man look like?

My fast heartbeat rang on my ears and I started to sweat. He shook his head at an absurd speed. His body twitched randomly and his toes curled as if he was having seizures. He produced foreign sounds and grunts accompanied by the quaking of the ground and clinking of metals. My legs crisscrossed multiple times as I maintain my balance. I quivered seeing a silhouette of a man following his movement. The light flickered and I saw different tools hanging on the wall.
