Life is Colourless

I remember it perfectly. The day colour was taken from our world. It brings back painfully bad memories. Victor was shown on the huge screen in the middle of the city, saying how he had won the war. How his dream was to take colour from our land. How he had, might I add, incredibly obviously, succeeded in making his dream a reality. I don't know how he did it, nor do I want to know. It just happened.

*flashback*

We were watching a Kerrang!interview on the T.V with some guy from a band Gee liked. I didn't particularly care for the band in question, I have a slightly different taste in music. Suddenly, with no warning, everything went black. I thought I had gone blind, it happened so quickly.

'Gee, what's happening?' I asked, starting to panic
'I don't know, sweetheart' Wait, he can see, or not see, as the case may be, the darkness too? 'Just stay calm, and it'll be okay'

I was starting to cry at this point, I've never been good at stuff like this. What even is this fuckery?

'It's starting to come back Frankie, baby. It's okay' I opened my eyes, as they were squeezed shut. No point closing them as I couldn't see anything anyway, but ya know. What was I meant to do?

I can see now. But it's not right. Everything is black and white.

'What's going on Gee? I'm sca-'

I'm cut off by the sound of an all too familiar voice. Victor

'Hello, normals' That's his name for us. He thinks that he's higher than us. That he has 'superpowers'. He probably is high if he thinks he has superpowers.

'As you can see, I have edited your world to make it more suitable for ones of your position in life. You don't deserve colour. Colour is euphoria. You don't deserve that. You deserve pain. Therefore, I have stolen most colour. You will find out what I chose to leave you with soon enough. Goodbye, normals.

'Gee...'
'Frankie...' We both start crying, hugging each other there on the couch, until we fall asleep.

*end of flashback*

He left pain. The bastard left us to experience nothing but pain. That was his intention, at least. But for some reason, me and Gee can feel love, too. We're special. That's why we were chosen. To get back our emotions. Our happiness, optimism, and laughter. To bring back life.

Notes
