Land of Blue

A Short Story...

In the Land of Blue, everyone looks alike. Hair, skin, eyes are all shades of blue. Even the buildings and streets are different blue colors. The Land of Blue is a wonderful place to be, with happy neighbors and parades every weekend. Cindy Lou Blue is celebrating her 5th birthday, and the whole town has come to celebrate. There is the Mayor with his long blue mustache that curls in exactly three loops at the end. The firefighters, police squad, and pagaent queens have all begun to drive through the neighborhood for the parade. But where was Cindy's best friend Samantha? Samantha was born at right around the same time as Cindy, so they were to be sharing their birthday's together. Every child that had a birthday in the same month was given the same party. But, looking around, she was nowhere to be seen. The strange truth about Samantha, however, is that she was born a slightly different color than blue. Samantha was green! No one in the town acknowledged her different color, no one but Cindy. Cindy did not mind that Samantha was green, in fact, she wished that she could be different too! Truly if she had one wish, that is what she would wish for.
