This week's theme is Colors. Here is my selection (unfortunately, not very exciting) from The Caravaggio Books by Bernard Peterson (p. 213):

On his was back to his office he stopped by at Macy Underwood's stationery cabinet, got a new yellow legal pad, and told her he didn't want to be disturbed for a while.

He sat down at his desk, pulled the pad towards him and wrote at the head of the top sheet the question that he still felt was the fulcrum of this case's solution and his best starting point: What came to light between Tuesday morning and Wednesday night that would make Hilda Robertson's killer so fearful that he would kill again to keep it suppressed?"

Peterson isn't real big on descriptions and seems to have a thing about not telling the reader what color anything is. I didn't notice that until I saw today's theme....I was beginning to think I wasn't going to find any colors in the book I was reading.

    Thanks, Freda. I think that's only because I added that second paragraph, though.

    Inspite of the fact that you struggled to find something with colors, I think you did really well. The passage is a good one though there is very little color in it. :)

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.

If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
