Are you a gray person or no?

I'm glad you stuck with it, Katy! Your description of soul-sucking gray is-- ironically-- vivid, and your words are pixel-precise.

"For a long, strange moment, gray was everywhere." Serendipitously, this lyric from a long, strange time ago (1987) is fitting > "Every silver lining's got a / Touch of grey." Ironically, to use the word again, written by a band notorious for wearing kaleidoscopic colors.

Wow I am so curious about the The Unpleasant Profession of Jonathan Hoag novella. I must find!

I already have your book (it's read well, dog-eared throughout), but I'll get a few more copies for gifting this festive season! Thank you for your honesty and your prose.
