I'm back, y'all. This time, a little story about the uncanny valley between two sisters. UPDATE (5/4/10): Added a few paragraphs toward the end, and some italics to some words that lost them in the copy/paste process.
UPDATE (1/19/2013): It's two years later, and in the meantime, I sold a revised version of this story to Spaceports and Spidersilk, a small YA zine. It's since gone offline, so I've gone ahead and published that version as an ebook. "No Different From Anyone Else" is now available for $0.99 at Smashwords. UPDATE (1/21/2012): And Amazon, too!
It's much better, I promise!
The original will remain here, for posterity:
