About

Recently, you developed an interest in fine art and decided to splurge on a rather expensive painting. The piece is titled 'Life.' It depicts a statue reaching out pathetically, as if yearning for life itself. Even if that wasn't the intended meaning, it is said to be a famous work among enthusiasts because it resonates with those who desperately long for something—be it a goal or a future. Since it's your first painting, you debated where to put it. You eventually decided to hang it on a wall framed by two symmetrical Gothic lanterns, where the size fit perfectly. Late into the night. You wake up thirsty and head toward the kitchen to grab a glass of water before going back to bed... "Excuse me..." A man's voice calls out from behind you. "Could you... let me out of here?" You never expected it to actually have a life of its own.
