In response to the random word Colours

During Holi, celebration of colours, I found my true colours!

Someone offered me a green concoction, made from some herbs that can intoxicate a bit, bringing one’s true feelings out, daring me to taste it!

I slurped it down with a glass of golden bubbly.

A lethal combination!!

Laughter bubbled out, hazy orange, pink sparks all around, settling in a red dust cloud, slowly turning blue, purple, then everything started to look a bit sad, almost black!

I don't remember much after that!

But I promised to myself that, if I ever woke up, I’d write a story about it!
