A/N: I guess this can be classified as a random creative burst – I mean, I knew I wanted to write this one a few nights ago and I had just came back from a trip to NYC…so it's not totally random…but it is a creative burst. We'll just call it a simple creative burst.

049: Color
You want to know a little fun fact about New York City?
Everybody, and I mean everybody, wears all black.
Well, not everyone, but a lot of people do, and you can get away with it without being accused of being emo or goth.
But it does get tiring, constantly seeing black in such a lively city. Of course, I blend in as well with my black skinny jeans, black ballet flats, and black turtle neck.
That's what happens when you live in the city for more than a month, you start to pick up on the all-black trend.
I missed seeing color – in my small hometown in Massachusetts, everyone wore a spectrum of colors.
I sighed, taking a sip of my Starbucks coffee, and stopping with a group of people who were waiting for the red hand to be replaced with the blue walking man.
At the corner of my eye I saw a splash of red.
It was a man with bright red hair who was holding a map with a confused expression etched on his beautiful face. He was wearing a tan jacket over a green shirt with extremely worn jeans.
I was immediately entranced by him. He was a splash of color in a sea of black. Going against everything I've learned living in the city, I walked up to him and made myself known.
"Do you need any help?"
"God, yes! I'm so lost. Do you know how to get here?" He asked, very relieved as he pointed a street on his map.
"Yeah, I'm going around that area too." I said, nodding my head over to the crosswalk when the light changed. He joined my side as he walked with me, keeping up with my quick strides.
"It's been crazy! It's nothing like L.A. Everybody's in black!" He murmured to himself. I laughed at his comment, agreeing with him.
"Yeah, you're the first person I've seen wear color today." I replied, silently saying that he was the first person that brought a bit of color in my city life.
