She was okay with not seeing.
The more screams and the more things she bumped into, the more she was content with not seeing her world.
She kept her own world. With a braille typewriter, and her imagination, she kept her slice of life inside a story.
And there, her life was colored with hope.

Mel is a story teller. Though she only writes in braille, some of her works were translated into text and sold.
One of most famous works of this time was Adventures with Rainbows, topping the sales charts every year ever since it was published, written by the woman herself. Melony, Mel, never said much about the tale, or where she had receieved the awe inspiring, and moving storyline from.
The story told of a little girl growing up become a woman in a world of fantastic porportions, and with a thrill and a chill with every turn of the page. She gave romance and humor another chance over action. Where everything had no reason, but was given a purpose to exist, and where colors were the shades of living in the droplet of a single shard of water. The 400-page book was beauty without pictures.
But one day, someone finally got through to the elderly woman. After fifty years of avoiding and dismissing the subject, Melony Taylor told a young man:
"I did it for you."
