Two artists lived in New York. One of these artist Johnsey caught a sickness at a young age. Although Johnsy’s memories of this sickness stayed present. Johnsey has become a renowned award winning artists. She is proud of her accomplishments but always remembers the reason why she pursued it. She did not just enjoy art she obsessed over it. Her reasoning was that if a person can save my life with art I will do the same.
A knock at the door startled her out of concentration on her new art piece. Johnsy placed her art supplies on the table next to her and began to walk to the door, while the old wooden floors squeak at every step. The door handle rusted almost to the point it could not turn, she opened the door to an old friend.

She didn't wanted anymore disturbances even from her caretaker as a child. It was not that she did not love her. Her focus on her art made her distant from everybody. She stayed in the same building from her younger days by the same window she watched the leaves fall. Every winter all the leaves would fall except one. Jonhsy would say, “always without life, yet always with meaning.”
Jonhsy painted by the tattered window with cracking wood and a broken window. As time rode past more and more paintings where finished the leaf on the vine began to wash away. Johnsy watched this leaf as a child and now as an adult. It had been almost 40 years since the illness had come across Greenwich village. The disease was like a mouse (simile) quiet and unexpected. As winter was around the corner Johnsy began to prepare her home. It was more tattered and broken then she has remembered and did the best she could to patch the holes. One day when snow began to fall Jonhsy was working on a painting and realized she ran out of some blue for the sky. She did not want to leave her home without somebody knowing she was gone. She went to get the home phone and called Sue.

“I am going to get more paint’s, I wanted to know if you would like to come with me.” said Jonhsy

“Yes, of course I will be there soon!”said Sue. “No i will come meet you.”

She hung up the phone before she could say anything more.

Johnsy put her boots on and her jacket. She walked out the front door turned the rusty door knob and went to go see Sue. Jonhsy and sue had not had an interaction like this in a very long time and Sue was excited that Johnsy wanted to see her. Sue waited at her home, for an hour then became worried. Sue picked up her phone and called Johnsy to see if she was home. No answer. Sue then dialed 9 1 1. There was a search for johnsy and a storm began to roll in.

……..

The next morning Jonhsy was in her bed looking out the window at the vine. Once again like when she was a child. Sue walked in and saw her staring at the window shade. “I know you want to see the vine, but the window is cracked and it will let cold air in,” said Sue

There was no answer. Jonhsy signaled with her hand to open the shade. Sue did so. “I have some soup made for you come and eat it
