15 minutes or so.

I had 15 minutes to impress the judges with my presentation.

Challenge accepted.

I immediately reached to the stand with the various paints. I grabbed a brush and picked a wall. I started by drawing the sunset sky, using the colors I remembered having seen from the rooftop last night. Then I proceeded into drawing the sea, a nice turqoise colour mixing with the remaining colour's of my pallete to create an harmonic result. I then used darker colours to add some birds, mostly seagulls but also an eagle.

7 minuted exactly.

I then proceeded into painting myself in the painting. Got my hair up, almost immerged them into the light pink paint. Then I painted my face, my arms and my torso. The judges were indeed looking at me, but I could feel their attention wasn't focused entirely on me. As I leaned towards the wall, my back touching the paint, and as I stretched my arms to cover the horizon line I heard them applauding, even with my eyes closed. Still they were too reserved.

I had to try harder, cause apparently I convinced them for my artistic talent but not for my survival skills.

I then did what I had in mind from the moment I started drawing. I was just hoping it wouldn't have to be neccessary. As I walked away from the painting, I grabbed a knife from one of the stands. And before anyone realised what I was about to do, I threw it directly to the painting.

My knife got stuck in the wall, exactly at the spot were I had drew the eagle.

This time, their applause was full of excitement.

"Thank you for your time." I bowed and left the room.
