[ WP ] You have been completely colorblind your entire life and only see in shades of grey . You come across a stranger that appears in total color .

I guess I was supposed to have been more surprised, like a mermaid complaining in a song about how wonderful it would be to have legs, but seeing what non-color blind folks would consider color was thoroughly anti-climactic to me. 
 
 I was on my lunch break, very quickly trying to hurry down to the corner deli and pick up a sandwich to eat before this afternoon's big presentation, starving because I had n't had a chance to grab breakfast this morning, and next thing I know somebody has grabbed my arm on the sidewalk rambling on about waiting for me and how I did n't even notice them. Yeah, they were in color, but they were also being really creepy and my stomach was digesting itself from hunger. 
 
 I simply said, sorry I do n't really have time for this today, but the person in total color jumped out in front of me and said I could n't just leave, something about how I was expected to have this response of wow, oh my god, color is so great, this makes me so happy, or some nonsense like that. I mean seriously, are all people in total color such complete obnoxious jerks, or am I too colorblind to the spectrum of gratitude that I should have been feeling towards this stranger that was keeping me from getting my lunch? 
 
 `` You see that person in blue over there? ``, I said to him. I was totally bluffing and have no idea what blue looks like, but hunger and desperation to get out of the situation brought out this clever tactic. He took the bait and could n't understand how I saw color and called it a miracle. I went with it and said hallelujah, this is great oh my god, the colors, thank you, and then I ducked away in the crowd and quickly into the deli leaving true color man feeling like a hero, a savior, who had shown me the light and all of its wonderful ROYGIBV goodness. 
 
 In the deli I asked for my typical sandwich from behind the glass, the grey one that like everything in the world looks and tastes wonderful to me.
