Tint
I've been trying to get this piece published for well over a year and it saw it's fair share of rejections. I really liked this story and I knew I'd eventually find it a home, but it's sometimes disheartening to have to wait that long.
Well, the fine folks as Flashes finally gave 'Tint' a look and it's up on their site today.
I always liked the use of color in writing, it brings scenes to life and, for me personally, makes them more memorable. So I decided to write a piece that played almost entirely off of that idea. A lot of feedback I received while drafting the piece was how the readers enjoyed the narration and point of view -- i.e. the voice. That, combined with the use of color as a vehicle, I think really helped bring this story to life.
See what you think -- Tint
