A drabble. My first...

Palette

Look at them all. My brothers, my blood.

What colours would I use?

Scott. Cobalt blue, and black, and red. Dramatic, bold strokes soaring skyward with no hesitation.

John. pale yellow, indigo, mauve. Gentle, sweeping waves like the Milky Way, or a fleeting thought.

Gordon. Chestnut, sienna, emerald green, dappled sunlight on water. A dolphin splash of turquoise.

Alan. Hectic, frantic dabs of black, white, red, a compelling, distracting assault on the senses.

Myself. Tawny gold, and olive green, and a colour I haven't quite found yet.

Dad?

Every colour available-

the palette from which the rest of us came.
