This was based off a story called Shades of Gray by Sue Storm. It can be found in the book Horrors! 365 Scary Stories.
In a colorless world Ivan watched a girl sitting on the porch crying. He looked up to see a women opening the door. She walked down to sit next to the girl, and wrapped her hands around her. Tears also began to fall from her eyes. Slowly he looked away from them and walked into the house. He walked upstairs to his room and took out his diary. Flipping to the last page he wrote I wish my sisters to always be happy. Deciding to draw sunflowers and bottles of vodka to show he was thinking this happily. Afterwards closed the book and walked out of the house to find Yao.
Yao opened his eyes to see the world in shades of grey. Surprised, he looked around to see if anything thing had color. Nothing did. He turned forward only to see his brothers and sisters crying near the doorway. But the only one that really caught his attention was his second brother. "Whats all this about?" He asked loudly to get their attention. They didn't even turn. "...Yong, I told you not to leave food out." Yong seemed to only weep louder. " Long, I have fire crackers. And we can practice fighting later, Viet." Trying to lift their spirits. "Mei? Kiku? You know your twos rebellious attitude gets old." He paused. "Whats with you guys?" Again nothing.
"I'll never be able to play with Aniki's breast again" Yong cried. Long only continued to cry not muttering a word. "I-I-I won't be able to compete with Yao anymore." Viet whispered, few tears coming every once in a while. " I was so mean to him." Mei began to use her qipao to wipe her tears. "I've wronged you so many times. Yet you always smiled at me as if I hadn't done anything wrong. And in the end I never got to apologize, brother." Streams falling and he became to preoccupied crying that he didn't notice his siblings wrapping themselves around him. Forming a tight ball to comfort themselves.
Yao stood there frozen in place. "I-I-I'm not dead." He began to take a step only to be held in place by a hand grasping his arm. He turned his head slightly to see Ivan, after he tried again. But Ivan held him firmly. He attempted a few more times gentle, as Ivan continued holding him, Yao struggled more roughly each time. Frustrated he punched Ivan making a soft thud. He stopped and looked up to seeing sad gray eyes.
He launched him self burying himself deep into Ivan's coat. Ivan embraced Yao as soft tears fell and he felt coat getting wetter.
Rain began to fall from the gray colored clouds. And in the end the tears and the rain became one.
Author's note: I wanted to add that line,but I didn't think it went with the stories flow. Please review on my writing, honestly I'm a terrible writer and wanted to have someone's opinion. Especially on my vocabulary my teacher kept saying I used low vocabulary, so if you can sent me a shuffled up vocabulary list for any words I kept repeating.
