i love this

I really like this. It hints at something dark, without precisely explaining what it is. Simple and effective. Great work.

Three things I noticed:

"She was like a child first opening its eyes." This sentence struck me as odd. A child is a he or a she, but not an it. I'd suggest using one of these pronouns instead.

"...the only other color other than..."
Two "others". I think I'd change it to "the only color aside from".

"vivid lustful" could use a comma, and in this case, I think it'd be better with one.

These things are minor, and like I said, I enjoyed this. Keep writing.
