Stephanie became obsessed with what she called “the endless greys of winter.”
The low hanging cloud mixed with the frosty grass and the concrete roads of the city kept her up at night, and preoccupied her during the day.
The endless greys started to adversely affect her everyday life. Against her partners wishes, she completely redecorated the house so only various shades of grey were present. She only ever bought grey clothes, as she wanted to “blend in.”
And she was cautioned at work for coming in painted head to toe in grey face paint. They should really have realised that she was having a breakdown, but it wasn't a very good company.
Eventually, she was taken for psychological evaluation after trying to colour her ginger cat grey with house paint. She was popped in a padded cell for a couple of weeks, which she actually loved, because it was all grey. Endless grey.
