I like the story quite a bit. Very well executed flash, giving us the glimpse into a world, setting the basis for why it is different, and then leaving us to our imaginations. Life without color, sound, or imagination...hmmmm. At first, I was thinking a world with black and white newspapaers, computer monitors, and movies is like going back in time, but then I thought about Everything being black and white...hmmm Then take out sound, and then imagination, now that's going too far.
A big laugh for the "mimes were still unpopular" line. Also for "...in order to solve the problem, creative thinking would be necessay. Death squads were immediately sent..."
Bravo, Ms. Rambo.
Edit: I forgot to also say that the color part brought to mind the movie Pleasantville.
