Shades of Gray

---

She’s been alone all her life, but she’s never really been alone. But she’s alone even when she’s not. And loneliness is colored gray, because everything has a color to her and her whole life has been in shades of gray. So when the girl across the room smiles at her and she walks across the room to her and she sees she has gray eyes, she thinks that’s just perfect.

The girl with the gray eyes introduces herself as May. She holds out her hand as if she’s drowning in gray waters, and May just smiles and takes her hand.
