Finding Color in the Grey

By Debra Cine

In a world devoid of color and free expression there is no room for those who are unique. There is no room for those who do not fit into the molds provided by their leaders. There is no room for dissent.
Each story follows the discovery of a color, and a cause, that the main characters come across in their lives. Each individual must make a choice to either continue their lives without expressing themselves or take up a new life of freedom and expression.
In Red we find love that is marred by grey, unfeeling mediocrity.
In Magenta we find forbidden love between two women, chained apart by the leaders.
In Green we find a barren woman, her marriage only held together by the promise of a child.
In Yellow we find an orphan, his world becoming more and more bleak.
These characters struggle to find some joy in the grey world they have been conditioned to live in.

She’s been knocking on his door for a good minute now with no response. He sounded so excited on the phone it worried her. When he finally lets her in she barely recognizes him.

What is it that you wanted to show me? she doesn’t need to wait for an answer; it’s all around her and she’s terrified by it. The usually grey walls are now painted all different colors, the white furniture splattered with it, even the floors are wet with paint, Oh my god, John, what have you done?

Isn’t it amazing? He’s also covered in paint.

Where did you even get these colors? No one is supposed to sell these---

I made them! If you add nearly anything to the white stuff they sell you can make these gorgeous colors!

Why are you acting so strangely? she can’t understand his frantic behavior, the smile that won’t leave his face, Why are you so happy about colors? We’ve lived our whole lives without them---

That’s exactly why! I didn’t know they were so beautiful...hell I don’t think I ever knew the true definition of beauty until I started mixing these colors.

You have to repaint these walls.
