You Take a Minute to Look at the Art

You stop and have a look at Terri Heinrichs’ Visual Impressions series in the third floor hallway. These beautiful, textural oil paintings are of lovely flowers and, prairie and mountain landscapes in Alberta. You really love the impressionistic style. Your favourite one is of a mountain lake surrounded by trees. As you stand and stare at it you can almost smell the pine and hear the lapping waves from the cool mountain breeze.

Wait... you can feel the breeze, hear the waves, smell the pine.

You look around. You're in the painting. cSpace is gone. At first you panic, but then you see Alex waving down a path. You walk down to meet your best friend.

"Isn't this place great?" Alex exclaims.

"Alex, we're trapped in a picture."

"We're trapped together?" They smile.

You look around and sigh. "It is a very nice picture."

"Right?" Alex cheers. "Come on! I've found a cabin. We can fish! It'll be nice! Let's worry about getting out after we have an adventure!"

You go with Alex and have many wonderful adventures in the mountains until you can hardly remember your previous life, never once wondering how you got in or how to get out. Though sometimes, you see Alex off in the nearby flower field practicing magic.
