Authors: A. Destiny
Sunset Ranch (16 page)
My heart fluttered. This was going to happen. A chance for me to do something big. Yes, I'd had a lot of accomplishments in my life, things I was proud of. Academic achievements that I'd worked hard for. But nothing would compare to winning a nationwide art contest.
Being in a gallery. In New York City.
The stakes were high, and from looking at the artwork of several of the fellow artists in my room, the competition was stiff. But I had to make this work. I'd spend all my free time working on this piece.
I wasn't going to fail. I would put my heart and soul into it, and pray, pray, pray that it was good enough for me to qualify.
