Paint
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. Aldwin Eliot might not have noticed the light if he hadn’t been feverishly painting the old log cabin onto his canvas. He peered through the glass window from where he sat in his parent’s hunting shack, canvas and acrylics dominating the flimsy card table in front of him. He downed the dregs of some cheap coffee and ran a hand over his unshaven face, squinting out the window into the trees. The cabin hunkered just across the edge of his parents’ property, locked and abandoned since he was a kid. He’d never thought much of it before, but now, in the moonlit evening, nestled in the crooked pines, it demanded to be painted. He had dabbled a dot of yellow in one of the windows because it felt right, and turned out, the dot of paint WAS right. A single candle flickered in the right window of the actual cabin. Strange. He spit out a few drops of murky paint into the trash bin nearby. He really needed to stop biting the end of his paintbrush.
