Little Child piece by Franchesca Bartos

     Franchesca Bartos, a well-endowed and talented artist created a piece called “Little Child”, the drawing done with the medium of pencil and ebony pencil. The artwork depicts a small child sleeping snuggly in his bed, with this ominous lighting, created with the strokes of her line work. There is a lot of hard work and dedication put into this drawing, which shows not only the artist’s dedication but the quality of work that she can produce.
     Little Timmy sleeping in his warm bed, after a long day of hard work and mischievous wrong doings, he just lay their without a worry in the world. That is because little Timmy had done things that day, that no other kid would ever do in his life. Because that warm bed that he was sleeping on had originally been owned by a homeless man. So Timmy had stolen private property that was from the poor man who lived across the street, near the alley on the left side of his neighbor’s house. Even though, the homeless man didn’t take that armed robbery so kindly, the homeless man had no choice in the first place.
     Because Little Timmy enjoyed the process of robbing the homeless man, it was almost quite entertaining to watch actually. As little Timmy had crossed the street, in front of his house, he had begun pulling and attacking the vulnerable homeless man for that warm and soft mattress. Timmy soon snapped, and out of nowhere, pulled out a knife half the size of Timmy himself. And began to strangle and stab the old man at such a horrendous, yet rhythmic pace, all which occurred at the same time. In which Timmy began to slowly take away the poor man’s mattress, but also the man’s last struggling breath of life.
 
 
 
After the murder had taken place, Timmy could not just simply dispose of the body, he had to get
rid of it. So he had to get crafty and creative, then all of a sudden he came up with such a scheme,
that no eight year old would ever come up with. So he said to himself “What better place to hide
the body than in the same mattress I’ve originally stolen from my victim”. Soon the night grew long,
and as the hours passed by, Timmy lay there all warm and cozy on his new acquired mattress. Little
Timmy not only had the best sleep of his life, but also managed to get away with murder. But hey
that was a pretty comfortable mattress.
