「Mono•chrome」

Outlined in Black

I have a sister.

She's not the brightest, or the most colorful, and she always has that weird look of surprise plastered on her face. But she's mine.

We live near each other, both of us stationed in the desert with pure white sand. She lives on the right of the building, I live on the left. Dave, the specter, comes by sometimes, but she's afraid of him, so I don't say hi.

We've lived here for goodness knows how long. Neither of us know how we got here, or why everything is so starkly black and white. It's mighty ironic, that our surroundings are so clear cut and yet everything else is a strict shade of grey.

She's... Always been an odd one. Afraid of traffic lights and streets in general. Whenever that girl with the two pigtail braids comes around, I always have to comfort her afterwards, patting her limbs back into place, wiping the milk white tears from her eyes, typical sisterly stuff. It's a saddening and shocking sight, seeing the one bit of family you have in the world with an arm sticking out of her head.

And when pigtail girl comes to visit me? I simply awkwardly smile and disappear. Afraid that she'll do the same thing to me that she did to poor old Dave. Afraid that Monoko will have to come and put me back together. Her actions have repercussions, and yet she doesn't seem to realize that. It's a shame, really.

Perhaps we could have been friends.
