It wasn't even black and white for her. She would have preferred her world to be as such, but alas, in her line of sight, the world was a dreary shade of grey. It was as if she had been looking through an old picture-box; everything the same and plain. So dreadfully plain. Every time she looked in the mirror, the same thing appeared. The same grey face, which in reality had quite a nice complexion, the same grey hair, which was actually a pleasing blonde, and varying clothes depending on the day. This affected her personality somewhat, knowing that everyone else saw black and white, while she was stuck with this dreary grey. It made her sad, as she sat in the window, staring out at all the raindrops as they fell, another grey mark dripping down a grey surface. Even the sun, the bloody sun was another shade of grey.
