Barney, how is it that you always bring breathtaking and detailed art with such deep meaning behind each one?


Well if you really want to know why not come to my art studio, this is the address to it. I just have to ask to not share any of this with anyone as I don’t want the paparazzi showing up and disrupting my work. If you can do that, maybe you'll be my next muse. 


Really? I could be your next muse? The red hair beauty asked in excitement.


Of course you can. As you already know my name is Barney. May I have the pleasure of knowing your name?


My name is Heather.


What a lovely name Heather. I already am feeling inspired. I might make you into an angel.


Really?


Of course wings and all. We can further discuss this in my studio.


I can come over Saturday.


That will work perfectly. Barney replied with a gentle smile looking her up and down. 


She will indeed be a perfect small angel. The real question is how I'll make the feathers and attach it to her back. I have a leg and arm to work with on making the structure of wings and fingers from my previous project I haven’t had a chance to use. Barney stood in deep thought while planning on creating this angelic structure, maybe ill make her a fallen angel. 


As Barney watches Heather walk away he couldn’t help but think of the different possibilities for the storyline for her when another person came up to him with a business card as he looked up he noticed man and women side by side.


Can I help you? 


Good evening Barney, my name is Tonya and this is William. We have been huge fans of your work since you started debuting; and wanted to invite you to our morning news to ask a few questions that we along with thousands of others have been dying to know. Tonya said cheerfully while nudging her hand closer to Barney to take the business card.


We know you are not interested in being the center of social media however we want to know more about you. You are very recluse and no one can find out much about you other than you being an orphan. Could you please come on to our channel and chat with us so we can know more about you and compensate you well for your time. William expressed with deep interest.


Will you stop pestering me if I go?

Of course.


Very well then I’ll join you just this once.


Great, well see you tomorrow!


That suddenly? 


We don’t want to give you time to decide to not do it so we plan on striking while the iron is hot! Tonya said enthusiastically. 


Make sure you are here tomorrow! Tonya grabbed William and quickly blended into the group before Barney could say anything more on the matter.


This could be interesting I suppose, maybe I’ll get more ideas for future projects. Seeing that everyone else is dull I should go before some other stray comes to me Barney thought while taking his chance to make his exit to a secret side door that appears to be an ordinary wall but has a secret latch for other celebrities to enter and exit secretly without the fans knowing.


Inside the door there are 2 hallways to go to on the right is a secret room for the elites to come to that appears to be more like another ball room. In the ballroom they have a 1 way mirror that can show the main room that everyone typically is in not knowing that they are generally being watched by others and at points being mocked; sometimes chosen for their new toys. The art critics were ignorant, not knowing there is high end alcohol and “Bliss” an expensive drug that the wealthy often divulges in and enjoys in peace often having sexual parties, secret deals, and human trafficking going through there. Barney, not wanting to talk to godfather at the moment, decided to go left where it takes you to the elite parking lot that would need a certain card and code to get access to. As he drove home he thought of more ways he can make his latest muse even more stunning as an art piece; maybe he could have her arms tied with only one wing on.

When Barney selects his muses, he doesn’t just capture their beauty—he preserves it in the most chilling way imaginable. Behind the curtains of his pristine studio lie the secrets that made him famous: sculptures so lifelike they seem to breathe… and stories far darker than the art critics could ever guess.
