pink vs. black

(this piece is not for the story, but it was something i began to think about as i was reading a new book. why do all of these heroines wear black tank tops? why not pink? what would happen if claudia wore pink? the following was the result. enjoy!)

Claudia was looking in her drawer and noticed a decided lack of color. There was nothing that was bright or bold, everything was either black or navy. There was not even a brown, or light blue to be seen anywhere. Claudia decided it was time to branch out her wardrobe, possibly spice things up a little and go for something completely out of the ordinary for her, something bright and bold, but nothing too girly like a pastel. Maybe that magenta color she used to wear when she was 14, that might work, or possibly even teal? or turquoise? The 80s were back now, she could find those colors again!

Or it might just get her killed. Those bright colors could get you noticed and getting noticed was exactly what Claudia did not want to do. If she was going to do that she might as well just get a shirt with the words “KILL ME NOW” in red sequins spelled out on her chest. At least then she’d have a small chance of having enough time to grab her crossbow since the vamp in front of her would be laughing so damn hard. Guess there was a reason for basic black after all!
