Sincerely,

The Blank City
There was once this little cardboard
town. Every part of it was made of unmoving, thin and flat pieces of
cardboard. This included the trees, houses, fences even the people
and animals were blank white pieces of cardboard. The ground itself
had also been made from cardboard. One day several children visited
this little cardboard town each with their own individual crayon.
They knew each other only be the color of their crayons.
When Red came into town he drew apples
on all of the cardboard trees. He also made sure everyone could see
all the roses too. When he saw the cardboard houses he gave them
bright red doors. He smiled as he colored, he was the little boy who
didn't care about any time but the present.
Green walked through the town with a
contemplative look on her face. She wondered why the town needed her
to give the trees leaves and the ground grass. But she knew she had
to, the town wouldn't be right if she didn't.
Brown dashed through the town as he
gave the dogs fur and the people hair. He colored the tree's bark
with broad strokes. He also gave the people big, brown eyes matching
his own. He made sure he didn't miss a single person, he wanted to
make sure everyone could see him. He later waved at them when he
could.
The mellow Blue came to town without
an idea in her head. She looked and looked at the town, trying to
think of something that needed to be blue. Only after a few minutes
of thinking she figured out what could be colored blue. She went
around the town and put big blue tears on all the cardboard people.
She didn't like that she made all the cardboard people sad, but when
she saw all the other children coloring she had to color something
herself.
When Yellow arrived he saw all the
tears and a depressed Blue who had nothing left to color. He walked
up to Blue and held out his hand. Blue gave him her crayon as she
couldn't think of anything else to do with it herself. Yellow then
knelt next to a house and started drawing a big blob of blue on the
ground. It took Blue awhile to figure out what he was doing. She
smiled when she realized that he was giving the house a pool. She
walked up to him. He turned to her and gave her back the crayon. She
finished drawing that pool and started making other pools for each of
the houses. Yellow took his own crayon and started drawing smiles on
all the cardboard people to make their tears happy ones.
I don't know how you come up with all of these creative ideas, Langdon! Just make sure to edit your writing, and watch your grammar, so you can communicate your visions more clearly. They are so worthy of communication. :}
