???'s POV

——A few years later——

I've created multiple scenes and brought color on the supposed-to-be grey planet, yet some parts are still black and white due to the figures in hiding. Ever since I figured how to eradicate them, they've become cautious of my presence. The beings clearly had intelligence and would try to sneak up on me when I'm in the middle of my creation process.

I've tried to figure out how the internet works, yet I'm unable to do so. Multiple books have mentioned about them, it was implied that people used them in daily life, yet none of the phones I encounter work! There's no electricity and I can't figure out how to fix the wires in any kind of generator. The world has been abandoned for too long, it's modern items has become lost technology.

I've been reading through books, newspapers and random diaries as source material for the people I create. Unfortunately I never feel satisfied with my own creations, I've tried to clash personalities together, yet they still seem a little flat. What am I missing? I've made sure they have a set goal, some challenges and fears of their very own. Their own connections with others, their hobbies and weaknesses.

I tried to create as much personality as possible, yet my characters still felt flat. I had no proper reference for an actual person besides myself, my only proper reference was characters from books, but those were made from references as well. If only I had there were other living species in this world to use as reference! Wait a minute...

Other species! I think I vaguely remember seeing a few planets before coming across the one I landed on. If that's the case, perhaps I can look for other planets and find other species out there! Especially one that isn't filled with evil hostile blobs.

The problem that arises from the idea would be these evil hostile blobs being left alone. Without me, the whole area will be overtaken by them. Traveling the outside space would mean I need time outside the planet, but I won't be comfortable with keeping this planet untouched for too long just for the blobs to take over.

I needed a place that would be safe from the blobs, so that when I come back I won't have to witness an all grey planet again. I wanted it above the sky, that way the blobs wouldn't reach it, but it also needed to be colorful! I knew the exact place to go, a grassy filled area with a river splitting the two lands.

Preparing myself to create my sanctuary, I took out my red trusty paintbrush and switched the color to a light blue sky. If the color was the same as the sky, then the blobs would have a harder time spotting it. It would be unlikely for them to climb high enough without any support in the air to reach the sanctuary, but extra precautions never hurt!

Above the river and in the clouds, was a room with walls of glass windows, with art tools everywhere and lavenders hanging from the ceiling. The room was a perfect square as well! So if ever I finished my search of other planets, I can put this room into a square hole where it can rest in retirement.

I decide to switch my brush back to white and shrink it to fit my own pocket. With the sanctuary, it should be able to keep the colors stay in place for awhile despite blobs overtaking the area below.

I fly out of the planet and prepare for the biggest trick I've done in my entire life. Shrinking the whole planet for a more portable size in my travels. Grabbing the same brush I used to create the sanctuary, I cast a spell hoping the gravity and space in it's range would do as I wanted.

Surprisingly, it worked! It was as small as my hands and it didn't feel heavy at all! It felt like an ordinary ping pong ball I picked up from the ground. Excited for my new adventure in the space outside the planet, the vast unknown space I've come to hate and dread for centuries.

I come back to it ready for a new change in my life.

——In an area called the White Zone——

???'s POV

Heya there! Welcome to the white zone! Where is this place you ask?

Actually....I don't know as well. Here? There? Everywhere? Nowhere?

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAA

There is nothing, no one, just white. No other color but white. Even I'm white! But you know what isn't? THIS DICTIONARY! Memorized everything in this amazing book in a matter of 3 days.

The book cover? White. Bleh pretty boring, soooo common. But the text? Ohohohoho. IT'S BLACK BABY! Yes that's right, a whole different color from this white zone. Can you imagine? Cuz I can't, I learned words from this and it is my whole vocabulary. Surprising isn't it? You'd think I won't know slang but somehow I do.

But you know, during my time there wasn't even a dictionary, it was just white, but hey I ain't complaining.

Once this book came into the white zone, I sensed it immediately and came here as fast as I could! Of course gravity here is weird, may exist, may not, but hey! Better than not moving from one place to another, am I right?

How do I know this place is called the white zone? Let's just say I knew these things the minute I arrived. What this place is called, how 'physics' work in this world and it's laws. Gravity comes at random, changes at any moment, no pattern. You can fall sideways, float down, and even crouch up. Believe me, you get used to it.

Heck really that's the only thing I can do, after all I am talking to myself. I heard it's something called thinking. At first I thought I was schizophrenic, but apparently that's if you hear another voice other than your own. Thankfully it was nothing serious for me, but who had a smart idea of making 'S' first in the dictionary rather than 'T', really gave me a heart attack.

Seriously, I've only been alive for like 10 years in the white zone, and I want to think about my existential crisis. I don't hear noises at all here but my own voice, yet it's useless without talking to anyone.

After the existence of the dictionary, I could actually form words and thoughts in my head. Hey, maybe I'll start making classic poems for the next 10 years. That'll keep me busy.

Huh? Wait a minute. I feel something! There's something like a thousand kilometers in front of me. Thankfully gravity is fast right now, I can reach it in no time! Going past 9 kilometers in a matter of 3 minutes, I was nearing the random item that popped into the white zone.

I saw it, it was near, but suddenly gravity hit like a fucking truck. I couldn't reach it in time to grab it, so I was slowly heading towards it. I could see it's figure, but I wanted to fiddle with it before I did anything else. It was black! Honestly the best color in the world I've seen so far.

Reaching out my hand, trying to hold onto it in desperation.

Gimme. Gimme. Gimme!

I grabbed the sharp looking thing, and realized it was pretty thick. Can't be a knife. It's not sharp. What is this? Hmm..... it's black and..it seems like I can see through it. Oh! Sunglasses? Though it's usually round, it can be in different shapes.

This'll be my fashion statement now. It's forever gonna be my eyes, not like I really had physical eyes in the first place. It's weird how I can see things without them, always thought I was blind because I didn't see any other color but white! Or was it supposed to be black? Eh who cares?

At least there's some new changes around here.
