The Only Color

This is the first part of the story "Alive but Dead"

Once there was a woman

"A witch" she was named as

Her life was a dull picture

A mixture of gray and black

Another color in the picture

was a sin

She had a daughter

whose father was a traveler

who abandoned her

Before the sun was even up

After the passionate night

The daughter was beautiful

Serene and fragile

She was always near death

Her mother, who treasured her most

Treasured the only bright color she had

Tried to fight the sickness

But it was stronger

Not everyday was a day

Some days were nights

That day was one of them

When death finally took her

The only beauty she had

Desperate and lonely

She used it again

The power which will bring her back

A small cold bottle

She placed atop her chest

In it was the dark of her powers...
