THE YELLOW LEAF
#WritcoStoryChallenge
The painting was yellowed with rounded edges. It was a masterpiece and it was lying in my hand. Wait, have I stolen it? I don't remember making any painting! I was so drowzy at night after making several paintings that I couldn't kept my eyes open. My circumstances were not good. My dream was to become a popular painter and here I was not even able to paint a simple leaf with colours. I was good with sketches but colours often confused me and I every time diffuse them from the outline while painting. Therefore my paintings usually seemed as thrash.
Even though, I was well aware of my flaws, infatuated by the 'prize money' I hurrily got my name written for the painting competition. The competition was held between 'renowned' painters vs. 'anonymous' painters. Of course, I wasn't popular so I filled the form of 'anonymous' painter. Even when I clearly know that I can't even paint a small leaf! But the prize money was so big...ONE LAKH RUPEES. And a golden chance to become 'popular' among the town. How could I miss it. The deadline was Monday morning at around 8 O'clock. I wanted to take a chance so I determined to participate in the painting competition.
On Sunday morning, I started to paint with various colours to make a unique masterpiece but as my luck was down, I coludn't even held the paint brush properly. I knew that my competition was too much tough as various 'renowned' painters were going to be my compitetor whereas I couldn't even make a leaf! My luck was down with painting. I didn't even got up...
