Cal pushed and shoved Bruce until he finally woke up. Cal told him that if he gave the people of Goldmeadow their color back then he would allow Bruce to have some of his color and Bruce wouldn’t have to be evil and miserable. It was a win- win scenario.
Bruce happily agreed to this idea and decided that he would happily go and change everybody’s color back to normal. Within seconds the town of Goldmeadow was beautifully filled with color and everybody jumped up with joy.
Maroon Max was an even brighter Maroon that looked as beautiful as a tulip than he had been before and he even had little polka dots of silver, gold, yellow, green and purple sprinkled all over him.
Mahogany Mahoney was an, even more, poppy and exciting mahogany color than she had been before and she even had turquoise, pink, and even purple stripes on her body.
Beige Bailey had a more happy color of beige rather than the bland one she had before and she had little swirls of turquoise, pink, green and blue spread all around her skin.
Tan Teddy had a more rugged and stylish tan than he had before and he had fashionable swift red and yellow marks all over his body.
Cal had the best change of all though, because he had much brighter rainbow colors and they all popped and showed interest and excitement.
So all of the citizens of Goldmeadow and Cal got together and gave a small bit of their color to Cal who then placed all of the colors in a small golden tin that shone as bright as the sun which he would soon award to Bruce Black.
Cal strolled over to the field where Bruce was sitting and awarded him with the color that he had so proudly collected. Bruce slowly reached out his hand and took hold of the golden tin that awaited the color that would soon be his own.
Bruce opened the smooth golden container and allowed the color to flood his body and soon he was an astonishing yellow, red and blue that dazzled the sight of everybody in Goldmeadow. Bruce who was not so black anymore decided to change his name to Bruce Bright, who would now restore places of bland and non interesting color that surrounded him.
Bruce declared that day that he would never take anybody’s color away ever again and that he would do the complete opposite and help anybody that was low on color and color would always flood the world.
Cal had one last thing to say, “Color has now officially been invented!” he said. This is how color was invented.
Death Through Eyes
By: Stars Shine Bright
A few miles north from a town overcome with starvation, lived a girl of fifteen. Her name was Andy, and she lived deep within a cave. She had fiery red curly hair and elegant eyes that were the color of a dark almond. Most of the time, she wore black clothes; perfect for blending in although once in awhile she would wear white. Andy was tan which was very odd for “people” where she came from, and her most prized possessions were her two rings that were engraved with the names Hades and Persephone. She loved them very much because the names on that ring were her mother’s and father's. These were the only two people she truly loved, or at least that’s what she thought.
