kaleidoscope girl

All the colours, flashing before her eyes. Lying, in a field of indigo flowers staring up at her yellow sun. The petals keep changing colours. The ground slowly starts to turn into water. The girl allows herself to be swept away in the waves. Having no clue where she is going to end up next. The ocean pushes her along until she is lying on yellow sand. She shakes away from the blue water, tip toes past the black shadows to find herself showered in green. Feelings of renewal mixed with soothing sensations. It enters her eyes and is reflected back in a calm content. No madness showing. Just peaceful bliss.. Urges overcome her. The girl throws herself to the ground. Panting and writhing; wanting to be held, wanting nothing else but to share herself with this green world. She sheds her blue soaked clothes and her skin turns colours. The warm sun caresses. As her hands move across her body, her skin settles to a golden green colour. Such warmth, such pleasure, such happiness.

A flash of silver. She sits up and looks out in the distance. There is small hole in her colourful world. She crawls over to look through. Grey. An army of grey is approaching. This colourful world she found is in danger of fading. Grey matter seeps through that oh so tiny hole. She flinches away. Scared now, she tries to find something, anything, to plug up the hole. The girl doesn't want to lose this new world, she doesn't want to go back to being colourless. She tries to run, but the Grey is quick. She looks back to see how close it is, and doesn't notice the black puddle in front of her. She steps in and falls down, and down. Wind roars in her ears. There are no more colours except the colour shining brightly from her skin. The golden green is lost amongst the black. She hits the bottom of the hole and cries. Her tears are emeralds falling into nothingness. She curls up into a ball. Naked, cold. A beautiful green girl in darkness. Will she remain there forever?

Time passes by and everyday she tries to work her way out, skinning her hands and knees, bruising her body. Her hair grows longer and longer, resembling tangled vines. Her hair and nails have turned black. Grey works it's way up from her feet to her thighs. She gives up. Allows her body to collapse and willingly sacrifices her mind and body to the darkness. She lies there, eyes staring into space, her body sprawled out and open for whatever hides in the shadows.

And this is how he found her.
