@glitterotti’s DA secret Santa gift! (@dasecretsanta).
Ives was away visiting somebody or other and Mahanon was alone, drinking. He downed his glass of whiskey as he fiddled with his charcoal. The nose wasn’t quite right. He poured his second glass, or was it third? He’d lost count, but that didn’t matter. It would fuel his creative genius. Then he reshaped the nose just slightly. There. Perfect. Well, of course it was perfect. He’d done it.
Mahanon stared for a moment at the picture in front of him. There was Ives, stark in black and white, but so real he could almost touch him. Mahanon grinned at his own talent and poured himself another glass of whiskey. He walked with his drink and portrait over to fire. He admired the picture with the added beauty of the flickering firelight for a moment then tossed it in the fire. Mahanon’s now empty glass followed it and he staggered off to bed pleased with himself.
I saw where you said Mahanon draws, but no one knows and I though of this. It’s short but I hope you like it and I really hope I did Mahanon justice. He’s such a great character!
