Raph loved the days he could spend with Mrs Morrison; she didn’t know he was different. Not until the day she accidently touched his shell and found out his secret.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Her voice wasn’t angry or disappointed, she just sounded curious.

“Because I ain’t human.”  Raph shrugged his shoulder, knocking her hand off his carapace.

“You seem human enough to me.”

“I got green skin. It ain’t normal.”

“I can’t see that. Too me you’re not green, black or white.”

“Then what am I?” Raph sighed turning to face her, hoping she could tell him.

“Colourless.”
