Prompt: New Life | Word Count: 1000 | Genre: Drama
Everything began and ended with green. Not that I was clear then, on what green looked like, but based on what I’d read – green being the colour of freshness, promise, new life – it had been my favourite colour far back as I could remember. I especially liked the idea of green meaning new life.
Until the tornado.
Afterwards, if I’d never seen anything green again that would have suited me just fine.
Red? Yeah, well, considering it was red that got me home again, I guess it has potential. But, knowing what I know now, it would have been better if things had stayed plain old black and white.
