Colours

Blue, White, Red

They were some of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen.

Blue, White, Red

They were some of the most beautiful skies I have ever dreamed.

Blue, White, Red

These colours are not always what they seemed.

Blue, White, Red

What is that? A plane, a UFO, a beam?

Blue, White, Red

Should I move? Should I run? Should I scream?

Blue, White, Red

I can’t see I can’t fucking see… Pauline? Can you hear me?!

Blue, White, Red

There…. Pauline. Blood coming down her jeans.

Blue, White, Red

The sirens turned to screams.

Blue, White, Red

Sir stay down, you will lose blood the more you try to lean.

Blue, White, Red

My wife… Please tell me she’s alive. Please tell me this is a fucking dream?!

Blue, White, Red

Flowers-Skies-Sirens. Why couldn’t it end perfectly?

Blue, White, Red

That’s life you see. These colours… are not always what they seem.
