His eyes were completely focused on the picture, his mind flashing back to the first day he had gotten his sketch book.
There was a woman standing next to the train with a suitcase and her blood red scarf was billowing on the wind on that cold october day. She was looked down at someone, it was sky about 10 years ago just as a small boy. The woman reached into her bag that was slung across her shoulder, a pleasant bittersweet smile plastered on her face as she smiled with loving kindness in her eyes down at Sky. Pulling out the crisp new sketch book and box of charcoal from her back she handed it to Sky.
"I'll be waiting for you at the next train stop. If you don't see me dont get off the train ok Sky?" Tears began to form in both their eyes. A single tear ran down Sky's pale cheek. He reached up with little hands to grab the sketch book, hugging it close as the woman started to walk away not look back, not even for a short glance. Sky suddenly spotted something something on the ground where the woman had been standing just a few seconds ago. sky bent down on his knees and found a single gold shiny button that had fallen from the woman's coat.
"Yah you kinda have to let the colors play out a story...but that gold button...It's like the beginning of the whole story. I couldnt change it if I wanted to, you know?" He looked into her eyes deeply trying to explain with his eyes.
Sky turned the page to the next picture. It was a smeared sorta wet picture folded up and crunched of a black and white lady and background, with a red scarf that billowed in the wind infront of a train on a dark cold autum day.
