“Claire, I’m afraid you’re being pre-victed.”
“How? I still have four months left!”
“Your housing with us is contingent on painting. You haven’t produced since your interview.”
“I’ve told you! I’ve just got canvas block! It’ll clear up in no time—promise!”
“Not so much as a still life, Claire. Not even a celebrity collage.”
“But I want to make something meaningful.”

Author’s Note: I often dream of a magical world where art is government funded. And so long as artists actually art, they’re granted food and shelter.
