Speech Sounds by Octavia E. Butler

5.0

In such a tiny short story, Butler manages to convey a whole plethora of information, evoke a roller-coaster of emotions, and still manage to describe the ambience and detail the setting. Absolutely brilliant. Ad to think a dodgy bus ride was the inspiration for such a deep, heart-rending tale is just... insane. She is a true Genius.
