1. Going Monochrome

The world was supposed to be filled with colours:
colours soft and gentle like the ocean's tender shades
of blue, or glaringly harsh like the yellow and red
in fire's face, or that sun that hung sometimes too low
in the sky

to him, and he forgot
those colours he so often sought.
