The Eighth-Grade History Class Visits the Hebrew Home for the Aging by Harry Turtledove
My rating: 4/5 cats
A garden stretched between her residence block and the dining hall. The same warm, bright, San Fernando Valley sunshine that had woken her poured down on it. A scrub jay in a pale-leaved olive tree screeched at her: “Jeep! Jeep! Jeep!” Anne smiled. The bird figured the garden belonged to it.
i’m glad i finally got around to reading this one. (so i guess there’s a silver lining to tor not putting up any new free shorts?? any info on that situation would be greatly appreciated.) but not only does this story redeem harry turtledove in my estimation, teaching me that he’s only bad at writing things that are supervolcano-related, but also this book page gives me a perfect deflection opportunity, because this year, any time i get some creature whining at me about “spoilers” in any one of my reviews, none of which are actually spoilers, i will just direct them to this page, where nearly every single review of this story spills its beans. thank you so very much, various reviewers. they will be your whiny creatures now!
read it for yourself here (the story, not the spilled beans. iiiii’m giving away nothing):
