Drawing From Life

by michaelvank

Logline

A nervous teenager's first life drawing class brings out a talent he did not know he had, with strange consequences.

Type: Short Story

Genre: Mystical, Supernatural, Coming Of Age,

Synopsis

This short story simply flowed out of me in one sitting, only needing a few minor edits before it was done. Sometimes it just happens like that, just like for the hero of the story, a nervous teenager undertaking a drawing course that has just moved on to Life Drawing. His experience changes his life, and that of the model, but not in a way that anyone could have predicted. His talent may be exceptional, but should he ever put it to use again? You decide. Note: Version 2 uploaded with minor clarification changes on page 4, following Elke's helpful review.

    • I have received a number of great reviews now, not all praise, but all helpful. I am looking at a re-write on this soon, but am concentrating on a short script that I will be presenting to a producer on Thursday, so I want it really right.
