Grey

 One thing I miss more than anything is how bright everything used to be. When my parents would be driving at night while I was in the back seat. I'd stare at the city. Unfocused my eyes. And the light would flicker in my sight like millions of lanterns converging and overlapping, and I wouldn't even blink. When I snapped out of it, I'd realize just how long it had been since I last blinked. Walking around at night never felt too dark back then. It's like the moon was shining brighter when I was a kid. Like a night light, I could see the path ahead of me. But now it's never been darker. I can't see anything. I don't know if it's a difference in my memory, mindset, or if it was actually just brighter back then. But now, everything is just… Grey. And I spell it with an e. because the A makes it look happier than it is.
