I read your story with interest, @mmeyenejoseph. You have some wonderful writing skills. But one thing that made me sad was that the bad person had darker skin — almost the color of charcoal. Why would her skin color indicate that she is not a good person? People come in all different colors, and it seems to me that a person's skin color has nothing to do with their personal qualities.

I'm sure the importance or value of light skin vs. dark skin varies in different cultures around the world. One day, I hope we will all believe that good morals and kindness are the most important qualities, above all else. As the expression goes, "You can't judge a book by it's cover."
