Color Story

It was a yellow summer morning. Bright clouds rolling through the sky, dandelions drifting in the wind. She skipped down the sidewalk in her brightly colored sundress. Door to door she went greeting the neighbors as she passed, wishing them all a happy day. A puppy passed her, wagging her tail. She stopped to pet it noticing the dogs tattered but yellow color.

That afternoon as she was playing with some friends a green leaf fell upon her head. She reached for it, examined it and then looked up at the tree that it had come from, full of leaves identical to the one in her hand. As she looked around she noticed all of the other trees with brightly colored leaves, all different shades of green.

The blue sky shined down on her. Never changing throughout the day. Only going from a bright light to a mysterious dark. glistening clouds passing through. She lays in the grass imagining the shapes they make, surrounded by the vastness of the sky. 

Black that was what surrounded her as she lay in her bed. Not a color in sight, except that of the moon shining through her window. Darkness was all around her, it surrounded what was once a beautiful and colorful day. Even then moon could not take the darkness away from her.
