Black and White

This post has been published by me as a part of the Blog-a-Ton 24; the Twenty-Fourth edition of the online marathon of Bloggers; where we decide and we write. To be part of the next edition, visit and start following Blog-a-Ton. The theme for this month is BLACK AND WHITE.
The eyes of a warrior see a million colors. His heart sees just two – black and white. His sword sees just one – red. The eyes of this warrior could see just one color – black. But his heart could see a third color, a color more valuable than the million colors his eyes could not – grey.


Writer's note: My third attempt at 55 fiction - a story in 55 words. Attempting one after a long time. This is inspired by a fictional character Zatoichi the blind swordsman.

  11. interest different and spoke a lot of meaning.....but what does grey symbolize here....black and white i took as victory and defeat.....

  13. @critics - Black and white is usually viewed as good and evil - darkness and light. So a warrior sees good he has to protect and evil he has to destroy. Grey signifies a greater understanding of people without jumping to conclusion whether they are good or evil

  14. A warrior being able to understand the grey...that is a good good perspective.
    Maybe you should extend on this. Write a longer story. I liked the 'warrior with a heart'(as D2 said) theme
