SCREAMS!!!

Greetings! I bid you welcome. Hello. Hello?

There are some days when the world doesn't seem quite right. When you're walking down the street, and there's no one around. When you step inside a random house, and it's empty. When you look at your private prison cell, and-- ah-- Have I mentioned that SCREAMS!!! seems a bit empty today? It's a pity, but I'm sure I'll eventually find someone. Maybe WakeUpAndLive since Friday is drawing closer.

And for that special day of the week, why not write something that contains

Seeing monochrome

or

A cultist's day off

You have up to 2000 words and time until Friday noon (WdC time) to turn these prompts into some chilling tales. Best of luck!
