She lives in a different world.

Far different from before. Only her previous memories guide her. Violet is summer with the flowers that grew around the artificial pond in her auntie’s garden. Green is the great expanse of lawns in the parks were she would run with her friends. Blue is the endless sea, standing in it ankle deep, when they had holidays and lived for a while in a caravan. Orange is for watching carrots being scraped with the true colour coming through. Indigo is for the bunches of grapes that hung over their back fence, that they were allowed to keep. Yellow is for the pile of grated cheese that will go towards the macaroni dish her father was so fond of. Red is the lipstick used when her mother went out with her father to somewhere special. White is the world being changed in winter with a layer of snow covering everything.

Black… and black is always there.

From a previous world to this. Only her precious memories from before blindness can guide her.

She lives in a different world.
