Small Malments
'Even though she tried to hurt me , even after the years of being told I wasn't good enough she is still my mother and I want her here.'
The Opening
"Look at how stunning that is." I overhear a guest talking to his wife.
"It is truly mesmerizing. I heard they got this artist who once did work for the king." Another guest said.
I smile at the work of art before my eyes.
My mural is complete. My project is complete. Everyone is talking about how much they love the mural that my hands , mind and heart made. Several people congratulated me on all of my hard efforts yet all I want is someone here with me during such a big night. I sort of have a career established which came through Doug's connections. Still I did an amazing job and I am proud of myself.
The mural was that of a landscape looking out onto the ocean. A sight I was once very familiar with since my mother took me there on special occasions when I was younger. The mural was a way to make the restaurant owner happy and secretly a way to honor my memories on the Isle. I don't have many good memories with my mother but this was one of the few I held onto to. Sure my mother would visit the cliff once a year to find a way off but still there was something about being there that made me happy. No one who visited here would know the landscape unless if they were from the Isle.
As always I wish I had some motherly figure here to be with me because to be honest , it is really sad to be doing this alone. Most mothers would be talking everyone's ears off about their child's extensive work, mine is in a cage somewhere in Ben's castle. Evie and Doug are busy preparing for their wedding fit for a princess . Jay and Audrey live to far away to come and visit for this event . Carlos was at the pet shelter since early this morning and was too tired to come tonight , and Ben doesn't even know about this since we have stopped being together.
This job was one of the few that I had that I really connected with. Being able to see one of the few happy things I had on the Isle sort of put things into perspective about my future.
Maybe its time I take a vacation.
Mal is going away somewhere! This was a bit more of a filler. Next chapter will be out soon and have a bit more of a shake up.
