Make Purple Intro/Teaser
Red is his favorite color.
Another stroke and the canvas is transformed under his patient hands into a scene that has flickered behind Keith’s eyelids for months now.Â
It’s okay. Once it’s out of my head it can’t hurt me anymore.
No more nightmares, no more screaming, no more sleepless nights. A sob catches in Keith’s throat and he is trusted back into reality. The digital clock by his bedside glows 2:38 am, it’s been hours. He knows he should have gone to sleep, he’s going to a new school tomorrow morning after all, but he won’t stop until this painting is finished.
He glances down and sees the memory like he's standing there again at seven years old; the silhouettes of the trees, the black of the wrecked car, the red of the sky, red of the fire, red of the trucks, the red of their blood. There’s so much red. There’s too much red.
Red used to be his favorite color.
This is my first attempt at any kind of fanfiction so feedback is always appreciated! Message me if you’re interested and want to know more about this wip or about some of my head cannons and future ideas. I’m also looking for a beta reader to test out some of my stuff. I’ll be posting little pieces on this blog tagged with #MakePurple Â
