The Artist
It was a calm sorta day in the art district that lay in the downtown of the city. Everyone was out in the streets and the sound of chatter danced in the air. The sun was up finally sparkling in the sky after a long gloomy winter and a gentle breeze floated through the air. The smell of fresh paint was floating around the streets and drifting slowly into people's minds. It was the perfect calm in the storm of life. A needed break when everything in life feels like it's in absolute turmoil. A calm that wouldn't last but is a much-needed break.
