Note - I basically just wrote whatever came to mind, including the title. I guess that's what I was thinking of when I wrote this. o.O;

When he was young the world was vibrant and beautiful. A splash of blue sea there, a little speckle of yellow here…the world was an open canvas of endless color. The world had no limits to his vision, his eyes picking up every pigment of the rainbow.

Riku wasn’t sure when it all began to change, when things started to slowly drain into grays, whites, and browns. Everything began to fade, and he wasn’t sure why. His world started to shift all around him, his surroundings growing darker and darker…

Until all that was left was black.

Great concept. =3 I'm not sure so about the ending; I know that it was probably meant to be strong, but it was more jarring than "strong" because the rest of the piece was so gentle. Anyway, it's itneresting!

Eh, I tried to show harsh differences between his childhood and him growing up (to fast). But perhaps I used a bit too much contrast to quickly? XD

That's it precisely. =3 Otherwise, I like it.
