Exit Strategy Questioned

You’ve read the tags: “colors may run”, but this is ridiculous. Chasing them down the hall is simply too much.

Caught in the act: Some bright ones fleeing like rats leaving a sinking ship.

There are actually some children born here who have never seen the sun or felt that lovely warmth on their faces.

Really.

Between this year’s miserable, dreary, damp, dark winter and the flu epidemic, who’s taking risks with newborns?

Young preschoolers are probably pointing to the yellow sunny circle in picture books and asking “What’s that?”

It’s so bad that even paintings’ colors are leaving for more hue friendly locales.

They almost got away with it unnoticed.

Fleeing down the hallways despite our pleas to return and tint patiently.

“Come back! As a public service,” we pleaded.

Almost looks like an amoeba split. A light hearted attempt to divide and conquer? Distract those in pursuit and sacrifice part so the rest can glow on.(Image: ©)

A more familiar image of colorful leaping. This is the way it was. It is too the same…close to it anyway…use your higher level thinking skills.

And things that go bump in the night. (J.Medaugh/Commons.wikimedia.org)

Fade to some colorful distractions:

• Color past (Did he foolishly think it paid to brightly advertise? Camo might have been a wiser choice): A tiny dinosaur with rainbow feathers.
• GRASS: Where grey is golden: “Sanctuary for unwanted golden retrievers damaged by Hurricane Harvey gets help” (Their storm story here.)
• A colorful guy who is the real thing and brightened so many lives. And continues to do so even now.
• Wonder if these could ever become extinct: “Army of artists bringing bold splashes of color“
