...I guess I didn't love her enough because I didn't understand. I didn't understand how people could just disappear from one's life like they never existed. How Daniel could drive the Range Rover and never look back, how Jonah could just leave for the heavens without a warning, without saying goodbye and now Francie...

For Every Missing Shade by Israel_Taylor
56 parts Complete
Israel Taylor knows the world is a mess. In fact, it's all he can think about. As an avid artist, he imagines life as a black-and-white landscape, waiting to be painted. He uses a metaphor of color to describe everything he wishes the world was, but he can't help but feel stuck in the ocean of apathy high school life has become for him. His first drop of paint comes in the form of a girl named Emma McKenzie. They fall in love as she shows him just how much color the world can hold. But, seeing color means seeing the full spectrum, and Israel soon learns that though there are colors more beautiful than grey, there are also colors that feel darker than black. For Every Missing Shade is a blunt, funny, and intense digression into how the human spirit can create something beautiful even as beauty seems absent. Told in diary format through Israel's thoughts, dream sequences, and short stories, For Every Missing Shade is a new reminder that the world is not beautiful in spite of broken people. The world is beautiful because of broken people. I initially wrote this as a short story for my creative writing class my senior year of high school. It was supposed to represent the two seemingly irreconcilable parts of my personality making peace with each other. Becoming something greater together. But, as I wrote this story, it grew and shifted into something bigger. It became a place for me to put everything I felt, realized, explored, and cried about during my high school and college life. I don't want to spoil too much of the plot. Just know it's about a boy and a girl. A boy who was obsessed with creating a world that could finally cater to the oddity he felt he was. A girl who taught him just how much he'd been missing in life by trying to control it. And a life that showed how much it could give and how much it could take.

"The moon's really beautiful, if you think about it," I blurted. "Yeah?" he asked, mild amusement and curiosity mingling in his voice. "Yeah," I confirmed. "It's just- there's something about the moon that's ethereal. I don't really know how to describe it, but it's a constant in life. You can't always see it, but you have to trust that it's out there somewhere. And when you can see it, it's all bright and shiny and overcomes the darkness." I paused, searching for the right words. "I don't know. I guess it's a reminder that there are good things out there, even if you can't see them... And it's cool to think that someone hundreds of miles away is staring at the exact same moon as you. It makes me feel not so alone in life." Turning my head, I saw him staring at me intently with a thoughtful look on his face. "Too deep for a Friday night?" I laughed nervously, feeling my face grow hot. And this was precisely why I didn't go to parties. He shook his head and seemed to snap out of his daze. "It was deep in a good way." *** SHE was quiet & left out.
