Felix, a tall, thin, and beard man sat on the sofa beside the door in the living room with his fist locked to his jaw. On the wall were several portraits of lone humans and animals trying to find peace beside still waters. One could easily tell about his life watching his many artistic works. His attention was drawn back as one of the frames suspended on the wall hit the floor, he hissed, ignoring the fallen frame, then resumed the work he was doing earlier. Painting was what kept his spirit alive, he looked at the unfinished photo of the child he was drawing and it reminded him of his childhood. Felix lived in the outskirts of the town. He was raised and brought up in a small cottage that was surrounded by beautiful ornaments and streams that flowed throughout the seasons. He had no friends, no neighbors, his dad takes him to school and brings him back, his dad was his closest friend and he had learned art work from him.

This is a wonderful character sketch. For Felix, art and his father were synonymous. He had no other life. But Felix finds, after his father is gone, that art is not enough. Not only does it fail to fill his emotional needs, but he no longer finds joy in art after his father's death. It is fortunate that Felix has the insight and courage to leave his quiet life and search for happiness where it might exist for him.

The simple story of a young man's journey to self-understanding is spare and direct. It is more effective for its spare style.
Well done.

Felix must have suffered, it strikes me how he was able to leave behind everything he knew. good piece
Sad but somewhat true, although it's such a shame that Felix couldn't stay in that peaceful environment to be in that creative space but take his art to town to sell it at markets and that's where he would meet people, make friends and become less lonely...
Sorry, I was right in the story then...😅..And wanted to come over for a hot chocolate and tell him that to help him make that first step, because I know that first step into life after death is the hardest...
Haaaa see I would have been Felix's friend from the start! 😃
It's hard to leave a lifetime of memories behind and start over.
