WRITING OBSTACLE
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.
It could be a red balloon or a blue bird - this is a good way to really get into vivid and metaphorical descriptions!
The Switch
All my life I’ve seen nothing but black and white; a world with nothing but vague emptiness.
Everyday was empty until today. Glimpses of colours filled my eyes and I couldn’t help to think I was crazy. Those first colours felt like life had been restored back into me; a world that seemed filled with possibilities. I began to just look around me and view this new life. For the first time in my life I felt fulfilled. The sky was nothing like I’d ever seen, that blue just lit me up. The trees, that beautiful green brought waves of peace over me. There were days where’d I’d just sit on the porch of my beige 2 story home. I would looked over the deep blue ocean; the sand resided skiing the ocean shore in the most perfect way. The landscape to my rich and left were filled with nothing but think forests and mountains, mountains whose peaks were buried in those’d rich green forests. Since my colour had returned; life had never been more peaceful, I felt complete.
