Colors

By Kendal A., Illinois

100-Word Microstory Contest Winner, Grades 5 & 6


The world begins with red, the pumping of our hearts. Orange, the color of the sun. Blue, the sky, the shelter above every head. White, the clouds against the blue. Pink, flowers flooding the branches. Green, the grass, the creatures' ground. Navy, the night's color. Yellow, the sparkling stars.

Then, we awake, our hearts begin to pump.
