photo files: old women bigand big

The picture shows an elderly lady in a purple blouse and a silver chain around her neck. She has gray hair tied up into a bun atop her head. Her eyes are closed as she sits down on a chair, leaning back against it comfortably.

The room behind her appears to be dimly lit by candles, giving off a warm glow. In one hand, she holds a book open to a page where there's a quote written in elegant script. It reads "Life is not about finding yourself but creating yourself.

" As you look closer, you notice something strange about this image - it seems like it's been edited somehow. There's no background noise or people walking past in the hallway outside of view. This makes you wonder if perhaps someone created this scene specifically for your benefit.

You decide to take advantage of their generosity and write a short story based on what you see here...
