"This coloring book is the one that the child colored in with the dullest colors in the crayon box.  This coloring book was colored with the saddest greys and blues.  The sky was painted no lighter than ash.  The ground was burnt away with a fire of hatred, leaving only the black remains of what life there used to be.  The only color was blue, but even then, that faded away into a grey midway.  Most of it was left uncolored.  The child got bored with it.  It found a new coloring book it liked much more.  One they felt deserved their precious color.  And so, this coloring book was abandoned and torn and folded at the bottom of the toybox."
