A soft beige color
The smell of clean laundry and freshly baked bread
Her feeling of security captured in every corner
A carnival
A seemingly-infinite array of radiant flashing colors
The sweet aroma of buttery popcorn and cotton candy
Laughter bellows and her face is plastered with a smile
The park
Blues and reds and yellows
Balmy air and morning dew
The imprint of her feet running forever stuck in the sand
The backyard
A luscious green
The nostalgic smell of freshly-cut grass
The swing set she swung on; memories engraved in the wood
School.
Red.
The smell of gunpowder.
She runs with the masses of her peers rushing the hallways in the last seconds of her life.
Why can't school be a different color?
