Green

The elixir from the jar spills over the world, covering everything with a cast of vibrant green. Shades of emerald and jade and moss and pine that have a pearly sheen. The ocean hue that fills my glass. The walls of the room carry a nice new tint. The fresh, vivid colour that fills the skies. The crisp, light tones that are the whites of my eyes. Then I realise..... It's the mid-1800s, ARSENIC POISONING
