Okay, as you probably realize, this is one of the short stories that’s on the ballot for the Hugo this year.
Here’s a link to an online version.
I might have a few quibbles … no, never mind. I really loved this story. It’s the only one of the stories I’ve read so far, but it instantly became the one to beat. It actually brought tears to my eyes — twice.
If you haven’t read it and have a few minutes, click through, read it now, and tell me what you think.

After your last post, I read “Mr Death” and “Unknown number,” and enjoyed both of them. I got a little weepy after “Mr Death” which I think speaks to the skill of the author (I like her other works too). Definitely a stand-out!
I haven’t read the others, but this Mr.Death is something special.
