First publication: Clarkesworld, February 2007
Review
An odd story because I think of Clarkesworld as a science fiction magazine and expect at least a fantastic theme from the stories. I’m not saying authors can’t write other genres, but it seems that this story was wrong for the market. It is a character story. The characters are well described and interesting given the short story format. The writing is well done.
