The sun was shining bright, yet all human life was motionless
I thought I was in a dream
A group of soldiers were frozen
Saluting a flag, a flag that I thought was the American Flag
But there were no red stripes
Only white
I was alone not feeling any particular emotion
Almost powerless, passionless, and without any anger
No love or hate existed
No red rubies, no red lipstick, no red wine
No red sea, no red lobsters, no red in the rainbow
I walked along my red less day
There were no stop signs, no red lights, and no red cars
No flashing sirens, no red wagons, no red barns
No red leaves, no apple trees, no red roses
No red anywhere
Heartless people lay on colorless bricks
No hearts were beating
No blood was pumping
I felt a certain dread without red
The strength of red was gone

I wonder if this would have more impact if we were to discover the reason for the loss of red.
