New Colours

Zee Killian lived through a troubled childhood, tossed between foster homes, never settling. The world was cold to them, and all the people in it distant and wary or cruel. When they got their scholarship and started art school, it was a relief. They started an art business, gaining local acclaim, and enough money to pay their half of rent for their shared two bedroom apartment. The independence was something they craved for as long as they could remember, always desperate to escape the systems that had enveloped them through their youth.

Now, independent and free, they found the world was no less frigid than it had been growing up, but at least they had the allowance to interact with it how and when they chose. But Zee would soon find that their approach to the world would leave them running into new walls, with no idea how to scale them.
