I take in the different colours of skin in the train - I can tell vaguely how someone dies by the colour of their skin and every colour symbolises something but the common ones that I have seen are, green which means cancer or the terminally ill, pink with splotches of green is caused by an illness, black with red stripes is by suicide, grey is by old age, blue is by accidents, yellow is drug overdose and so on but the colour I am terrified to see the most is red, which means imminent death.

I look up from my grey skin just in time to see a distraught man in a black hoodie slip through the closing doors of the train after which he unzips his black bag to retrieve a machine gun and immediately everyone else's skin turns red, including mine.
