Soulmate

Imagine living in a world where everything is black and white until you meet the one person you are destined to spend your life with, forever.

Suddenly everything was in slow motion. She knew what had happened, everyone knows what happens when the colour disappears.
Her soulmate was dead.
The now colourless world seemed to spin as Lilianna tipped forward. She heard yells, but they seemed distant. Far away. All Lilianna could think of as she fell was that she would never get the chance
