The bright colors now seem dim, like they were just illusions of fog covering my once fresh eyes.

I used to see everything in striking color. The bounce houses and cotton candy. The lollipops and green grass.

Marks of chalk now blend into my sidewalk, and I feel some sort of bubbling in my chest staring at their messy strokes.

What’s happening to me?

Is the world losing its color, or am I?’
