    Jonas, an 11-year-old boy, catches an apple that loses its color as it falls from the sky. When he tosses it back to his friend Asher, the apple's color flickers red for a moment before returning to black and white. As the recreational period ends, Jonas notices the strange change and secretly pockets the apple to examine further, confused by this disruption to their otherwise gray world.
