Chapter 1

Tell Me If You Like It! This Will Encourage Me To Do More!!

I woke up today, seeing what I always have seen. The distinct whiteness of my ceiling makes my eyes agitated for only a moment, then they adjust. I start to get up and look beneath my feet at the hardwood floor which was a very dark grayish color.

I sigh,"What did you expect, Daren" and start to get up to put my slippers on. They, of course, are also distorted by the same gray, just a different shade. Then I start to get ready for my job at the accounting office. It is really nice there; people treat me great, I get a good pay, and I get good healthcare. So I drink my coffee, put my work clothes on, grab my lunch and head off.

When I get to my office I am shocked to find it is being bulldozed to the ground. Why didn't anyone call me about this? I called up one of my co-workers and she said that our company went bankrupt during the weekend so everyone got laid off. "So that's just GREAT!" I said to myself watching the bulldozers finish up the job.

So after that I went home and kinda bummed around for a few hours playing video games, watching the television, and going through the bills. The video games and tv bored me for the most part since everything was black and white to me. Then I thought Why do I even have cable tv if I never use it? Then I thought of something more productive like mowing the lawn or cleaning the gutters. But at that moment It came to me Why don't I find a cure for this colorblindness? It made me happy just thinking about it. I felt discouraged for a moment when remembered that I tried to find a cure before but failed when more than twenty eye doctors came back to me saying they don't know what to do.

It was true, I have a very special kind of colorblind disability. I can only see neutral colors such as gray, black, white and, rarely,     brown. But I knew deep down inside someone has to have a cure.I just have to find the right people to ask. I looked up online "How to get rid of neutral colorblindness" and after hours upon hours of many different sites, I found it. The cure.
