Analysis of The Evil Colors of the Rainbow
The moon awakes on a cloudy summer night, humidity taking her precious time to spread out into the air, surrounding the young woman taking a seat on the cold, dry grass.
Her eyes rise up to observe the dark sky and she leans her head back accordingly.
A grin sits on her face, for all of her dreams and goals have finally been completed.
She’s warningly surrounded by the reminders of her friend’s love, her career, her wonderful fiance.
The clouds stir in the canvas of a sky, and a painted rainbow peeks itself out.
Their colors are hardly noticeable, but the uncanny mutters echo in her ears repeatedly.
Her career seems to vanish in the midst as more clouds follow suit and the rainbow pulls its way into her vision.
She falls back and hits her head roughly against the ground, however, that’s not a care to her.
Blue is fully visible and babbles away, telling unfortunate stories of husbands that cheat and lie, fiances that stalk and kill, and marriages that fall apart.
Rain begins to pour through the clouds and tugs under the skin exactly where her ring is placed, and the promise slips off eagerly.
A quiet desperate gasp escapes her lips as the clouds falls out of the sky and the rainbow paints itself on the sky fully.
Warm, sticky water soaks her fully and the dry, cold ground she once knew becomes her hell.
She stares up at her fate, and all at once, as expected, the rainbow pours down onto her and floods into her brain, spilling every negative thought imaginable onto her.
She lies on the ground stiffly as the morning sun greets her.
However, she has nothing to greet back.
