boring ahh story idea (should I write it?)

tragedy-romance-slightly psychological story.

Nathaniel is a sculptor. He goes to an art academy to sculpt and…do art. He’s talented and one of the best in the academy. (He’s like 20 years old). Then the class gets a new nude model to sculpt. Of course, it was never sexual to see the nude models. But this woman is beautiful.

Her name is Angeline. She’s 24 and has the body of a goddess. Nathaniel falls in love at first sight. He makes her sculpture as perfect as possible, hoping she’ll notice his talent and talk to him.

It becomes his greatest sculpture ever. It’s medium in size, so you can carry it, but with two hands because it’s heavy. Everyone praises it, and he even lets a museum take it in to showcase.

One day, since she hasn’t talked to him yet, he speaks to her. She smiles at him and talks back, she notices he’s a little flustered. She’s a real model, for clothing and makeup too.

It never really goes to more than surface level conversation. But he’s falls in love more every time they speak.

Until one day, she dies a gruesome and tragic death. He is devastated his one true love has died. He longs to look at her beauty again.

Then he remembers his sculpture. But it’s at the museum for good. So he plans a 1 man heist to steal it back. He nearly succeeds, but gets arrested.

He’s placed in jail, guilty of attempted theft of a prized art piece. Even though it was his art, he promised it to the museum. So it was still stealing.

Now, all he has is a photo of that sculpture. And he stares at it day after day, longing for his lover back.

The one sad part, is that we never really learn if she loved him back. But I’m hoping to imply that she didn’t and it was just him who was head over heels. She was just being polite and nice and she just wasn’t in love with him. Plus the conversation was always surface level as I said, so it wasn’t really friend zoning, they were just basically strangers.

This is based in the early 1900s btw!!
