The trees rustled outside the bedroom window as a young girl sat on her bed.
Rachel Elizabeth Dare stared at the large white canvas in front of her, her eyes travelling to the paintbrush in her hand as well.
Due to the boredom of being grounded, the redheaded girl had decided to paint random snippets of whatever she laid eyes on. Her desk, her door, her window; all depicted using her favourite green paint.
Feeling that this topic of inspiration was getting old, Rachel set her eyes on the future instead. She thought about what could happen in a few years, what could change. Not wanting things to get too complicated, she decided to settle on one of her dreams and paint that.
Although it was hard, the young girl finally managed to choose an image of the future that she desperately wanted to happen. She wanted to go on an adventure. She wanted her life to be dangerous. She wanted to contribute to the world in some way.
And so she united her dream with her paintbrush to create a perfect future.
That was all she had, right?
A paintbrush and a dream.
