i liked it a lot. i liked that the visitor was inexplicable, and that it felt groundhog day-ish/ consciously like it was disconnecting from time/normality, like something out of murakami. [which, incidentally, is decidedly monochrome.]
i prefer feeling monochrome to grey, though. grey is my existential bland nightmare.

and um, hi.

Ariel — I believe I know exactly what you mean, yes. I think I could easily disappear if it weren’t for words.

The She Bloub — Well, hello to the desert and its many grains of sand.

Same colour of the particular grain of sand that nobody sees. It’s normal. Desert is too infinite…

Colourless, transparent so no one can see me unless I leave words behind.

Mizyake — No. Thank you.

Ben — Yep, it was her. She sold me the Grecian 2000. I need it desperately.

Katie — Hurrah. That is truly a mark of success. Or to put it another way: thank fuck for that.

I have a swear filter on my work computer. It has censored you.

Angelalala — “Pink on the outside with a hard, ebony centre”. Yes, that sounds quite like me.

Miles Away — Would that be an invisible colour?

Ani — You are correct. There are no ducks in the desert. There may, however, be unspeakable ducks on the unspeakable common, doing unspeakable things.

Imogen — Yes, definitely. Black and white and read all over.

NAGA — Apparently, I am also rather opaque.

Blueseaurchin — I have one of those. However, this caller was most insistent, and I had not the heart to refuse.

you need a peak hole.

One preferably which comes equipped with a squirt mechanism by which you could dissuade inopportune callers from you door.

When I read things like this:

“The carpet is carpeted. Monochrome. He is monochrome. Underfoot is monochrome. Everything is monochrome. I am in a monochrome dust cloud. I have become so much monochrome.”

I realize that I’ll never ever feel alone in the world, again.

I don’t think there’s ducks in the desert, though. Certainly not fluffy ones.

I’m robin’s egg blue, maybe. Yeah, definitely.

Pink on the outside with a hard, ebony centre.

Maybe he meant dessert?
