Another Tor.com short story.
I made the mistake of thinking the narrator was male for far too long and now I'm mad at myself. Neither of the named charaters are good people, but they are interesting and while the twist isn't that surprising I loved the imagery and lyrical choice of words (except for the sentence she uses to describe Guiness, i mean really?)
(no really, she wrote this: I savored the thrust of rusty-fist body through the velvet glove of foam, it's quite possibly the worst sentence I've ever read. It stands out so badly because the rest of her writing is good in the same way that sentence isn't)
