A review by blakeybuttons
Sweetheart by Greg Ruth, Abbey Mei Otis

4.0

Appearing on tor.com in 2010, "Sweetheart" is a short story that left me chilled. Written in second person, the story centres on a young boy and his childhood sweetheart, the neighbour, an alien child. I found this story disturbing and thought provoking- a discussion and reflection of the way one culture can dominate and distort another.
