Kane walked down the street, carrying his baseball bat in his right hand and a burlap bag in the his left. If one looked closely in the bag, they would see a few cans of spray paint, a pack or two of chalk, a few small bottles of tempara paint, small box of about 5 pastels, a bottle of water, and a few paintbrushes of varying in size. and what seemed to be a small folded piece of paper. Noticing the sun starting to rise as the peaceful streets become a little busier, he started to run. He did this because he knew he needed to get to that nice blank wall soon. If he didn't someone else might take it up or, while he was doing his art, someone would see and call the cops. And after last time, that was not an experience he wanted to repeat. So, as he reached the wall, his heart sank. He saw two pieces of art. Well, one, and then something else no one would ever want to see. He saw a bright mural with a variety of colors and a spray can in the corner. This was fresh. He didn't mind too much, but then he saw the ugly thing a few yards away, also scrawled on the wall. It was an ugly black spray paint signature of some stupid gang or other. He hated things like this, he almost wanted to paint over it but was a tad worried. He knew this gang happened to be pretty big, and he didn't want to give the m a bone to pick. So, he settled for the small space between the two works, and with a bottle of red, he dipped a paintbrush in and wrote one word in slow block letters. "OR." Having a moment of whimsy, he wrote more "Or" arranging them into a pattern so the, when looked at from afar, one would see an oar, like he had once used at a summer camp to steer a canoe. The "Or"s got thicker at the bottom and thinner at the top, looking as an oar should look. There were a few flat stones nearby he used as a stepping stool. After this was done, he took a bottle of dark blue and wrote a small border of "or"s around it and created a small border. The border was made so that it looked like a line; the "or"s on the side pointed toward the main oar, so the border was thinner then if the "or"s were pointed downwards. Please with his work, he walked away quickly after packing up his materials and carefully washing his paintbrushes with a bottle of water.
