99 word #prompt : Black and White
February 1, 2018, prompt: In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story that features something black and white. It could be a nun in a zebra monster truck, a rigid way of thinking, a bird in a tuxedo — be imaginative and go where the prompt leads.

“Is this black or is this white?” The lawyer asked, holding up a green scarf.
“Is this a joke? That particular scarf is lime.” ” I looked up at a judge as puzzled as I.
“Is this the scarf you killed your husband with?”
“No. Someone stabbed him. What kind of lawyer are you?”
“One with achromatopsia,” He replied.
“Is that a kind of seizure?” I asked.
“No,” He chuckled. “It’s total color blindness.”
“What does that have to do with my husband’s death?”
“Nothing. Do you think my wife would like this scarf?”
“Only if you want to die.”
And once again your incredible imagination is delightful! LOL

Loved the last line….I imagine a courtroom is a place you’d get an unbiased point of view.

This reads like great slapstick, one funny twist after another. Somehow, I picture Alan Alda as the lawyer!

Sounds like a good choice — that or Andy Griffith. 🙂
