Prompt: Describe any color to a person who has been blind his/her entire life.


Red is a melody, harsh and hard; an angry shout, a raised voice. Blue is waves lapping on a beach. Blue is crying until your eyes hurt. Orange is laughter uncontained. Green is friendship and for you to keep going. Purple is being alone but laughing anyways. Pink is floating on the wind, carrying you higher and higher. Black is an empty pit, an endless void, waiting to suck you in and keep you trapped. White is pure, is silken beads pouring through your fingertips. Grey is a mutual agreement between two foes.
