Comments on 'White Light & All The Colors In The Rainbow {my first challenge}'I've waited so long for this moment.
The bandages that stretch tightly around my head are holding in the darkness of a lifetime.
My daughter and grand daughter sat patiently while the doctor removed the first layer of gauze.
The four-year-old girl sprang from her mother's lap;
I heard the crinkle of paper.
_"Windy, what was that"_ I asked?
_"It's a surprise Nana"_ she said with excitement.
_"Can you see now"_?
_"Not yet baby"_ .
Light filtered through, white light.
Blink while I turn up the lighting said the doctor.
Blurred shapes started to emerge coming slowly into focus.
Windy stood in front of me holding the paper.
A teardrop slipped from the corner of my eye and ran slowly down my cheek.
_"Look Nana, I colored you a rainbow"_ .
_"Oh Windy, it's the most beautiful thing I've ever seen"_ .2007-10-23T23:52:47Zhttp://ficlets.com/feed/story/12043Comment on White Light & All The Colors In The Rainbow {my first challenge}<p>wait… i’m sorry (i know i’m an idiot) but why were there bandages in the first place? once again, i apologize for asking such a dumb question!<br />~<br />still love the story (regardless of the whole me not understanding thing which really doesn’t take away from the full effect)! so sweet!</p>http://ficlets.com/stories/12043?basename=194412007-10-23T23:52:47ZYeah Write!http://ficlets.com/authors/yeahwriteComment on White Light & All The Colors In The Rainbow {my first challenge}<p>Loved, loved, loved (did I mention loved yet?) this piece.
