Lack of Color

Challenge explanation by anecdote: When I was a kid, I thought that the reason all older movies/ shows were in black and white becuase that is all people _saw_ in. I though that we had evolved from dogs, and only fifty years ago, everybody, humans and dogs alike, saw in black in white. I learned differently, of course, but that thought has stuck with me for years. Your challenge is to write a black and white story. The possibilities are endless really. Maybe only you see in black and white. Or everybody does. Maybe even everything really _is_ black and white. These are just my suggestions. But there ya go. You have more than a month. Chop chop. If you need clarification, note me or just post your question below. Read it. Write it. Love it.
