A Color by Any Other Name
“I want the green ones,” Suzie shouted. The M&M candies were spread out on the table, the sisters choosing their favorite colors. Mae looked up in confusion. “There are no green ones, Suzie,” she said. “Those!” Suzie pointed. Mae sighed and handed her the red M&Ms. Her little sister was strange.
Later that day, Suzie screamed “Red light!” so vehemently that Dad slammed on the brakes, even though the light was green. He stopped the car just in time to miss hitting the young boy who suddenly lunged into the street. Mae hugged Suzie. Her little sister was amazing.

This is a story I’d love to read more of, Fuji, there is so much potential here. The reveal at the end that little Suzie has special powers is genius. I assumed, as I’m guessing others will too, that she was colour blind. A brilliant story, as always.
Oh, a sister with hidden talents!
