Summary:

This is a rewrite of the earlier posted version with grateful thanks to all those reviewers who generously commented on the first draft. I have shortened the background info at the beginning, although it may still be over-written for some readers. I have also tried to streamline more generally, make a little more relevant to the competition, and added a new ending. Original synopsis: A middle-aged woman seeks a second chance in life with a mysterious artist she meets at a movie theater. However, there is more to the artist than it seems.
