An empty shell crumbles to dust, under a ghastly moon. What remains is barely there, a shadow of a cocoon...

Hotels are red, houses are green. The poorest neighborhood used to be purple in the US, but now is uniformly brown. The richest is dark blue. Four railroads are uniformly spaced and the jail is in a corner. Roll the dice and move your marker to solve this riddle.

Roses are red Violets aren't blue Unless you're this.

Red houses are red, White houses are white, But I'm not named after the color of my exterior. In fact, I don't have a color of my own.

You'll find me on the sweetest rose, biding my time to make you bleed.
