Shades of Grey

In Eddie Russetts Welt wird alles davon bestimmt, welche Farben man sehen kann: Karriere, Glück, das ganze Schicksal. Die Regeln sind klar und werden strikt befolgt, es gibt keine Unsicherheiten, solange man seine Stellung akzeptiert.

Er fängt an sich zu fragen, warum Löffel verboten sind und was eigentlich mit den Leuten passiert, die zum Neustart in die Smaragdstadt geschickt werden.
