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.

Personally, I'd say "Highway Games" (if I remember the title right)... It's in the "Maps in a Mirror" collection, somewhere.

Everytime I drive down to my parents' or back, this story always comes to mind because there's a stretch where it either feels like I'm following someone too eerily or vice versa. Man, everyone remembers the "normal" stories right off, whereas I tend to remember the more futuristic ones.

I have no idea which one that is, but I'm pretty sure it isn't the one I'm thinking of. For the most part I don't remember the titles of OCS stories so you'll have to mention the concept, I'm afraid.

Well, except for "Eumenides in the Fourth Floor Lavatory," which is of course the flipper baby story.

Oh, right! Now I remember that one. That one was pretty bad. I mean, a good story, but creepy.
