This was some fun flash with a 150 word limit for @SalnPage. A tricky prompt indeed.
Criminal Muralwork
Mr. NUI scrubbed harder to wipe the spraypaint off the wall.
His spraypaint. He brushed vigorously enough for it to look like tough work for
his investors: codgers who would be watching this footage on tonight’s news. His
true fans could get a good laugh in when re-watching the videos online in the
months ahead.
He never wore a mask for his graffiti work, but all the papers
and websites were quick to use the lazy headline “MR. NUI UNMASKED.” His followers
likely had an image of him as a mysterious, globetrotting, renegade, not the overweight,
pasty man that was arrested halfway through his firehouse umbrella girl mural.
He continued to clean the wall and color in the white spaces
with the small pastel he’d concealed from the parole officer, shaping the
message he’s send to his fans when he was a continent away. “Bring your
blacklights to the firehouse.”
