[@valenciageode25]

I’m surprised the trope of “family won’t move out of haunted house” is this old. Excellent story. I’m glad it’s not blocked on my school laptop. Also, I don’t know how to describe (fittingly) the feeling I got when the narrator talked about the possibility that the Color fastened itself to something keeping it from moving. Ammi. He’s never left. Neither of them can leave. But Ammi can’t have too much life left in him. He’d be ninety years old at least. And when he passes? Lord help the world.

[@VultureSkins]

I think it’s the land, or the well (edit: or the trees!). Because unlike the others who it fastened onto (like the mother- the shadow that left after she passed was probably a part of it), Ammi hasn’t been having the symptoms(?) they did. But I could totally be wrong and I do really like your interpretation! Maybe the reason Ammi’s symptoms haven’t progressed is because he lives farther away from the well or where the thing landed.

[@aidanc9396]

It's not that they don't want to move out, because its obviously harmful to them. But the Colour compels them to stay, and they can't resist it.

[@HPSmugscraft]

I know it's supposed to be unexplainable, but my headcanon is that the Color was some kind of undiscovered radioactive isotope. It disintegrates quickly, suggesting a short half-life. It makes organisms grow sick and mutate. Nahum says that it "burns", even though it's cold to the touch (its initial heat could have been from entering the atmosphere). The beams of light from the well sound similar to the beams of ionizing radiation that were seen emitting from Reactor 4 when Chernobyl blew its top. The things the Gardners are seeing could be hallucinations or delusions brought on by brain damage, heavy metal poisoning, or malnutrition.
