[ WP ] Hundreds of years after a plague renders the world into black and white , one child regains the ability to see color .

This takes place several generations after the plague with the monochromatic vision being hereditary. 
 
 `` Momma?'' 
 
 `` Yes Dear?'' 
 
 `` What it that?'' 
 
 `` What is what Honey?' 
 
 `` That.'' 
 
 `` That is an Apple, Dear.'' 
 
 `` What's wrong with it?'' 
 
 `` Nothing I can see with it. What do you think is wrong with it?'' 
 
 `` It looks funny.'' 
 
 `` How so?'' 
 
 `` Its shinier that normal.'' 
 
 `` Shinier? Like the light bouncing off it?'' 
 
 `` No. Like it makes its own light. Other things are normal, the floor is gray, walls are white, your dress has some funny light to it too.'' 
 
 `` Hmmm, I'm not sure, but I have an idea. Follow Momma for a bit, I want to show you something.'' 
 
 `` Yes, Momma.'' 
 
 ( The mother shows the child a color wheel ) 
 
 `` Now, Dear, do any of these look like the funny light like the apple?'' 
 
 `` YEA! That one! That one also looks funny! That one too!. Lots of these do Momma!'' 
 
 `` Well is n't this an unexpected day.'' 
 
 `` What do you mean Momma?'' 
 
 `` What I mean is that you are going to have an interesting day my little Homo-Sapien.'' 
 
 `` Homo-Whatsien?'' 
 
 `` Oh, just a little flaw our people once removed from this planet, and apparently a little bit of them lived on in you, which we just can not have now can we?'' 
 
 `` Momma?'
