a hunting story about humans... and how it isn't machine parts that take away their humanity but their actions. beautiful imagery and bizarre word pictures. a bit confusing because of the compressed form but that is part of the charm of reading short fiction
Merged review:
A captivating story about a miner with no hope in a situation where she has no hope of getting out until she do.
It's quite a short story but it manages to build a world that you feel you know how it is working. You understand the protagonist and care for her. I just realised that I am not sure of the protagonist's gender - she felt female to me, but what do I know?
I do however think the Uncanny Magazine has spoiled me - I expect more emotional punch from the short stories I read.
Merged review:
Not a fan of second person, but dark and hunting. I ended up caring, not about the protagonist but about the plot and the world. Neat trick in that short a story
Merged review:
Interesting story of memory and identity. If I had to rate it I think I would land on 3 stars. It kept me interested, but not terribly emotionally invested
Merged review:
Blah, that ended before it really got interesting. more like the start of a story, than a story.
