STORY STARTER

Inspired by M.

Write a story where the central plot revolves around graffiti on a wall.

Is it art, vandalism, communication?

Living ghost

Everyone sees it, almost everyday but, incredibly none seems to notice, like a living ghost. There's this graffiti in the main road of my city, I've never heard anyone talk about it, they probably won't know what it looks like, but I'm sure they know it exists. Meanwhile I go every morning, 4 o'clock, when none is up so I can work on it all by myself. I like doing it slowly, if they care it'll be fantastic to hear they talking about the changes, but that will never happen I fear, but for now, I think about those small changes every minute.


Three months in, the graffiti is almost finished and unexpectedly, something has changed, someone has noticed and I know it not because I heard it, as I wanted but because I saw it. In some way is even better, they have add a little star on the side, not touching mine but you can tell that are related.


Two weeks from that first interaction and after not drawing the star day more people started doing the same. Now some even draw on top of the last parts improving them. After meditating it for a long 3 hours I got to the conclusion that this was everybody's art now and after redrawing the sign, I chose not to continue so the rest can... However I'm starting another now, hope people loves it as much as this, you'll hear about me when I got any results.
