It's like in that Orson Scott Card short story....

So I just ran across a concept and thought, "Oh, like in that Orson Scott Card story. You know, the infamous one."

Would y'all know which story I meant? Which story do you think I mean?

Cuz _I_ think of this story as particularly infamous, but I'm thinking that could apply to a lot of his short stories.

This is awful meta, even for me. Bed now, before I get any worse.

UPDATE: See the later comments for the name of thestory. I don't give specifics but I pretty much spoil the concept, and what I think REALLY gives the story impact, in my remarks about it, just FYI.

Oh good.

That wasn't the one I thought of last night, but I was thinking that the OTHER most infamous story I could think of was the flipper baby story.

I LOVE the flipper baby story. It's my fave. I once read it aloud to others by flashlight, while sitting in a tree. Good stuff, man. In a very disturbing way.
