“My Lawrence”
by Claudia Smith
New Sudden Fiction (2007)
* * * (Good) Science Fiction
Mary Alice and her android, Lawrence, decide to move to the country.
Androids creep me out. So, I’m biased, and any story containing androids will inherently put me on edge. As sentimental – and it is sentimental – as this story is, my own prejudice tints every page with a shadow – a fear – I know wasn’t intended. It just goes to show how different readers will come to enjoy a story – or not – based in large part to factors no writer has any control over.
