[QUOTE="hero4hire, post: 1815172, member: 20711"] [FONT=Comic Sans MS][U]New York City, SoHo District: Yesterday[/U][/FONT] The beautiful young lady immersed herself in the sculpture. She took in the lines and curves…How they flowed effortlessly into each other. She could almost feel as if she herself were sculpting it. Indeed, with her unique talent she remembered the movement of every muscle, every little twitch from when she made the artwork. Maya was torn from her reverie by a hand placed on her shoulder. Maya spun and almost attacked, until she saw the prim looking woman who must work at the gallery. [COLOR=Orange]“I said…You’re not allowed to touch the artwork ma’am.” Maya read on the woman’s lips.[/COLOR] [COLOR=Silver]“I…apologize. I was so engrossed in the piece I must have lost my head.”[/COLOR] [COLOR=Orange]“No harm done. It is beautiful work. Have you heard the story of the artist? Well it was quite a scandal. The young lady. Ms. Lopez shot her benefactor and adopted father in the head. Well---“[/COLOR] [COLOR=Silver]“No I hadn’t [B]heard[/B].”[/COLOR] Maya cut the lady off and promptly turned and walked out of the building onto West Broadway.
