Contrasts

Black and white.

Ask any kid and they'll automatically answer "Black is bad and white is good.".

Black. Bad. White. Good.

Why?

It's not like that. Not at all.

White is bad. White is the color of lab coats and lab walls and the stupid Styrofoam food trays they used to shove at us. It's the color of captivity.

Black is good. Black is the color of the night sky that I once had a fleeting glimpse of, on the way back from the lab. It's the color of freedom.

White is good. White is the color of Angel's wings and Gazzy's milk moustaches and the marshmallow we split into six once. It's the color of family.

Black is bad. Black is the color of nothingness, and that's all I see ever since those freaking whitecoats made me blind. It's the color of enemies.

Captivity. Freedom. Family. Enemies.

I'm not a kid anymore.
