Digital Art entry

Wheelchair Racing
Title of this art: Rat Race

Hello Steemies,

Good day. I was offline early yesterday and it's only now that I am starting to complete my submission under the digital art category. The theme is actually interesting as I had never tried it before.


The Blue Bells

Scene 34: Race

The mouse family went to bed early after eating their hot chowder. It was enough to last the cold night. The gas is running low now to heat the small nook. Tsyna, the mother mouse doesn't even have her own scarf, mitten, and bonnet. That is how in dire need this family is especially now the father is out.

Just before the sun rises, the town crier hit the alleys of this small village. He announced about a competition that is about to happen in an hour. It is a race using improvise wheelchairs and only the smallest of the bunch are allowed to join. Tsyna was up early and thought she could convince her youngest to join.

Tsyna: Irfan baby wake up
Irfan: is Dad home yet ( squints his dark little eyes)
Tsyna: Ah no ( couldn't react well) your dad is still searching for food dear. (Looks away feeling unsure)
Irfan: that's ok mom I know Dad is being guided
Tsyna: yes you're right. I want you to get ready for a wheelchair race. The price is enough for us to last another winter supply of food.
Irfan: count me in
Tabby: what's the noise about ?
Tsyna: Tabby oh boy will you help me fix the wheelchair outside? Your brother is in to race.
Tabby: zzzzz
Tsyna: wake up son.

Irfan is excited to win he will do it no matter what. Although he lacks physical strength he already rehearsed in his mind how he'd maneuver this matchbox cum wheelchair. Nothing is impossible given his will to win. There were already fifty other tiny contestants waiting to be called, Irfan is only getting warmed up. As soon as the sleepy mice are on wheels someone shouted GO. It was literally a rat race in the snow and was fun to watch.
Scene 33: Hot Chowder


I hope you like it. Until next time.
Cheers

Dear Artzonian, thanks for using the #ArtzOne hashtag. Your work is valuable to the @ArtzOne community. Quote of the week: Art, freedom and creativity will change society faster than politics. -Victor Pinchuk

thank you

An excellent interpretation of the theme. If more able-bodied people tried to race in wheelchairs, the attitudes might improve :) Good to see them having fun :)
