“You wanted colour?” smirked Colin.

Wow, I love dark stories. This was one!!
Thank you. You’ll find many more dark stories on my blog.
Oh, Nice story Hugh! A surprise in the end there, I like it.
Thank you. I always like a ‘twist’ with my stories. 😀
My goodness, Hugh, I hope I don’t run into you in a dark alley at night [smile].
I say exactly the same thing to myself every day, Robbie. 😀
Another twist in the guts of the story. Well done, Hugh.
Thank you, Norah. I like your ‘pun’ very much. 😀
