As Jessica entered the shower - wait a minute - those curtains are blue!

Had they been green before? Yeah, she was pretty sure they had been changed. Jessica unloaded her toiletries, turned the knob, and took a blue shower.

Michael awoke to a glint of sunlight on his eyelashes, forgetting almost instantly what he had dreamed. From between the half-closed blinds, he could see that the sunrise was magnificent. Did that mean today would be a great day?

Finished dressing, he began to fill his pockets with his various things. Then he stopped - he had almost pocketed a blue dollar bill, without even noticing. "Whoa..." All his dollar bills were blue! What else? His shirts, toothbrush, his failing plant, all formerly green, were now blue!

"Hey--" Jessica pointed to the trees, stopping the first innocent bystander on her way to work. "What color does that look to you?"

"It's blue, I know, I know! You see it too? Thank God! I thought I was going colorblind! But what on earth is happening?"

"I don't know. I had the feeling that my eyesight was fine...I'm not sure why...like I could still see green, if I could just find it somewhere."

Michael got out his paints -- no green and two blues. Lifting his brush to the canvas, a thought occured to him. He brought the brush back down, dabbed it in the blue, and swirled it in the yellow...

Green.

Michael breathed a sigh of relief. He thought for a blind man to see again must be one of the most wonderful feelings in the world...and it had only been half a day since he had seen the color. Almost instinctively, he began to paint trees, grass, molehills, anything he could think of that was green. Before, he had always been fascinated with industrial scenes; nature was too difficult, and it tried his patience. Now he was desperate -- he felt like he would be on the verge of nostalgia before long. Would things ever be green again? The question really worried him.

"Hey -- that's -- look what you've got! It's green!" Melody shouted out, grabbing his attention. "Look, everyone!"

Wow!
Her eyes!
He had never noticed how beautiful her eyes were before!
