Author's Notes: July 24th 2014 picture prompt: A verdant, overgrown railway track
A bit cheaty due to my first impression of the prompt was the vivid colour green.

.oOOo.

Grey was the last colour Major Watson had seen before his gas mask failed. The sky was grey. The mud was grey. His clothes and skin were grey. The morphine was finally helping; his eyes had stopped burning and his initial anxiety passed, so now, stray thoughts crossed his mind.

Green. He would miss the colour green. Green was the promise of spring… of renewal… of life. If he would remain blind, he would miss green the most.

White. Did white still exist? Was there anything clean left in the world?

Red. No, He would not miss red at all.

.oOOo.
