The Mural’s History

The old lady arrived at the terrace, making a general sweep of the surroundings to see if there were any eyes on her or the terrace in general. She had worn an armour to protect herself. And considering her age and the fact that she was within the city, it was an odd sight.

And even though she draped a gown over it, it was still odd enough the onlookers might gaze for a longer time just to satiate their curiosity. So, to prevent anyone from looking at her, the old lady waited and only made a move when she was assured there were no eyes on her.

She quickly arrived before the water tank, climbing up the short flight of stairs that trailed over the tank, arriving at its top. The cover on it was kept open as the old lady peeked inside, looking at her three children that were staring at the crate before them.
