Green Skin Novels & Stories

I spun toward the small dressing mirror by the wall. What I saw made my knees weaken. “What?” The word fell from my lips like a whisper. There it was. Clear as daylight. Green. My hair. My precious blue hair, the color I had known since birth, was streaked with sparkling green. Thin at first, then deeper as it spread through the strands like wildfire. The glow of it shimmered faintly under the light, unnatural, alive. “No, no, no…” My fingers clawed at it as if rubbing hard could wipe the color away. But it stayed, brighter with every touch.

Small and slow-moving creatures crawled up the walls and above my head; the light flickered when they stretched their wings out. Nida´s voice caught my attention. They had not noticed me, and I tilted my head to the side, watching them. Especially Nida: now I really saw the beauty of her skin. All of her skin had that scale pattern I noticed earlier; shimmering green colors changed as she moved, and dark green swiftly turned almost see-through green when her muscles tightened under her skin. And her hair, her hair was incredible! A hair commercial playing out in slow motion, it floated in the air, freely but at the same time following her every move. Thick black hair, so healthy and shiny!

Black skin never looked more beautiful. I looked away from her face to the face of the next person beside her and I blinked, once, twice, convinced that I was seeing things now but it was really who I thought it was. Shade Onam. Wait, what? She was impossible to miss even if you wanted to. Her eyes sold her out. Green, shades of green and her skin, her clear, too clear dark skin. I'd probably see my reflection if I stare at her skin too much. But wait, Sophia did a photoshoot with the likes of Shade Onam?

He finally got it after a few more minutes of thinking. “I see. The light from the Light Grass helps you maintain your true colors and form,” Mane was very intrigued by what he was hearing. Since Crystal Monkeys were so rare, very few people in the universe knew about their physiology. In fact, before now Mane didn’t know that Crystal Monkeys had other colors other than silver. He didn’t know they were so intelligent that they could pick up human speech. And there had never been a sighting of a Heaven Realm Crystal Monkey – ever. But here he was, speaking to a Heaven Realm Crystal Monkey. And this monkey had a different color too. Initially, Mane thought that its color was due to its strengt

Her red curls tickled my neck as she did so. When she pulled away, she went into her little personal room in the Grove and came out with a three little bottles in her hand. She pushed them into mine and looked at me seriously. “These three bottles should be of help to you. The red is for you to regain strength and help wounds heal. The blue is a very corrosive element that burns skin. The green is also for attacking as well if need be. It's a poison, not as corrosive, but also dangerous, especially when ingested.”

Ugh! I observed him trying to straighten up his back while forcing her face to look, maybe unaffected at all? He went towards me and reached his hand. He wanted me to stand up. And so, I accepted it. When our hands touched each other, both our skin shined. His skin shined green, while mine shined blue. We stood in front of each other. My eyes were astounded when the branches of his arms turned green from being brown! His words suddenly came back and I couldn't stop closing my eyes. And to my surprise, I was now able to understand what his words meant in the first place.

Gia gazed blankly at the greenery outside her room, even though the lush green view was undeniably enchanting. The scenery in Katastari was a warm yellow hue; Eze leaned towards shades of blue and white due to the sea, while Geirangerfjord was purely green. The verdant vegetation was soothing to the eyes.

Why was my love life so frustrating? "Have you noticed how the grass isn't itchy like regular grass?" I was wanting to keep topics on the tour. "The griffins who live here have an oil on their skin that coats the grass and makes it velvety. It's been like that for so long that the grass grows like that naturally now. And the color is like a turquoise mineral." I was feeling more at peace as we walked along. I turned and stretched my hands up. "Look, it's a griffin nest," I whispered. "And around the family are the flowers I mentioned. They're magnificent!"

Shit. I text back my reply. Why? I hit send and then scrunch up my face. Oh hell, that was lame. Why did I write that? He responds. Why is grass green? I smile, knowing this is a test. Grass produces a bright pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll absorbs blue light and red light, but mostly reflects green light, which accounts for its color. Are you going to continue to answer my questions with rhetorical questions? I bite my bottom lip and wait for his reply.

She’s old enough to travel a lot, earn enough to travel, but it surprised me to know that this was her first time stepping out of the US. I now understand why this was one of her requests. Traveling for her is fun whenever she’s with her friend, and this was the only way she could be with Ms. Brooks and Eve. I enjoyed watching Mr. Green, I only notice now how her big green jade eyes changed shade based on her emotions. Whenever she shows excitement, it turns emerald green and whenever she’s shocked or surprised; they turn olive green. Evan laughed as he watched Ms. Green pose for the photo. She loves pictures, and I followed her IG account when she came back to work. I learned that she loves
