Review of Eleanor Lennox, “The Color of Things,” Flash Fiction Online 143 (August 2025): 26-29 — Purchase here. Reviewed by Sara L. Uckelman.
There isn’t anything particularly speculative about this story (as happens occasionally with FFO), but that’s okay, I still enjoyed it. I love it when a story has a certain line that just jumps out at you, when you know exactly what the author means with it. When I read “She only knew she couldn’t bear to hurt Craig. She was a Midwesterner…” (p. 27) I went, ohhhhhh, yeahhhhh, I know exactly what Laura is feeling.
