Chapter One: Red

RED…

Red mountains, a red sky, a red ocean, and a red sun. No matter how hard I tried and how long I kept on going, whenever I opened my eyes, all I was able to see was nothingness. Zero mountains, the absence of a sky, the nonexistence of an ocean, and the inability of the sun to shine through this world. When I opened my eyes, all I was able to see was nothing; all I could see was nothingness, emptiness, the lack of matter, and the absence of sight. No color could describe this lack of a view, no color that could genuinely represent this absence of anything, this nothingness, this emptiness. When I opened my eyes, there was nothing to be seen!

BUT!

When I closed them! When I closed my eyes, I could finally see the truth! red mountains, red sky, red ocean, and a red sun! I was finally able to see that disgusting world! That disgusting color! The color of war, death, pain, hatred, and blood!
