Crimson

Purple is known to be the hue which is between crimson and violet. We have heard people associating it with royalty, power and wealth for centuries. ‘Queen Elizabeth I forbade commoners, except only a few close relatives of the royal family, to wear the colour’. So why is this elite and sophisticated status given to this colour? The reason is actually associated with the limited availability of the colour. This rarity, lead to the colour being outrageously expensive, so much so that only the…

Suzanne The small child walks down the cobblestones to Crimson Café. She spots a girl wearing striking red-rimmed sunglasses atop her black hair. The girl orders her chocolate croissant to go, places it into her purse, and turns on her heel. The child tags along, watching as she steps down the street, black and white polka-dot socks flashing out of her boots. Ruby-glossed lips smile at everything and everyone she sees, and laughter sparkles from her eyes and voice. Soon, she starts humming,…

said it was somewhere far to the north; a place untouched by the Empty’s dullness. Kodiak stopped thinking about his father and approached the corpse he’d just created. Blood was oozing from it’s neck stump, and Kodiak marveled at it’s brilliant crimson tone. It contrasted so well against the washed-out colors of the building. What was left of the man’s body was outfitted in an armor comprised of scrap metal and road signs all covered in dull red handprints. The red handprints were a universally…

Life might have its ups and downs, but the most important thing to remember is to come back stronger. Carlin Leander is an ambitious character. Carlin came from a Florida county where the inhabitants of the county view females as less superior which prompted her to leave her county.

emerges a white door, so white it is almost evanescent. Somehow, despite the closed blinds, baby blue luminance shimmers as a virgin pathway with the somniferous comforter, strewn haphazardly, serves as the destination, displaying splatters of crimson. Once a chamber of green that vivified, now the putrid shade emanates illness, and spectators demonstrate repugnance.

Reo winced, jumping between one of the prowler’s legs, dragging his claws against the decaying, rotting flesh on the inside of the yellow eyed monster, ignoring the warm, crimson liquid that poured over his back and let out a loud growl.…

During April of 2015, I stepped out of the car and onto the beach for the first time in Destin, Florida; the salty sea stung my nose as I breathed in a refreshing breath of briny air. The first step onto the sand was like a bed of blankets; soft and comfortable. The way the white sand glided onto my feet and squished between my toes felt like heaven. The waves were singing a delicate lullaby, pulling me closer to them. As I walk towards the ocean with the warm sand beneath my feet, the cold…

characters who will likely replace Quinlan (Ruper Penry-Jones) as The Master’s (Robin Atkin Downes) human host is Dr. Ephraim Goodweather (Corey Stoll) and Kelly’s (Natalie Brown) son Zack. While The Master is left without a host, he remained in a form of crimson worm that crawls its way through the dark tunnels. According to the recent predictions made, there were many circumstances wherein any The Strain viewer can guess that The Master could use Zach as his next host. First, the strogoi…

expect was that there was a convenient mirror as my only item. I took it out and decided to see if anything about me changed. When I looked in the mirror, I saw a whole new person. My curl was gone and I had the same hairstyle, except that my hair was crimson in…
