Your character sees everything in black and white. One day, they see but one colour in a world of monochrome. Describe their experience of this colour.

Color is divine. Color is passion.
Mine ran into the shadows
At the first sign of illumination.
The waves of gray are an ocean—
I run into the tunnel,
Moth to zapper—
Deer to high beams—
My wide-eyed innocence pulled to opposite ends of the pendulum—
Swinging in the gloam,
Where what they call the greener pastures
Are merely myths of men.

It was almost blinding
The blaze that flashed before my eyes
The warmth that accompanied it

Of course, there were many other colors but what was the point of memorizing every color and wh...
Everyday all I see is black and white, white and black. Until one day I'm walking along and see the slightest color change. So slight that if I wasn't color blind I might not have noticed it.

Well, I guess I should be happy I can see th...

Most of the time I wander and wonder. I can only see my world in dark shades and lighter shades. There is a blinding white by the edge of my world. My brethren stomp hoofs impatiently. The bright whiteness dulls every turn of the world and this allows us to explore the other side. We screech with excitement.
The first time it happened, it made me pause and stand in awe. I found a creature that wa...
