Tananarive Due | Like Daughter

I got the call in the middle of the week, when I came wheezing home from my uphill late-afternoon run.

There was no video feed, only the recording, and the words were so improbable they only confused me more. | Copyright 2000 by Tananarive Due. Originally published in DARK MATTER, edited by Sheree R.
