I don't *think* I remember anybody posting this one before--
"The End of a Dynasty, or a Natural History of Ferrets." It's an excerpt
from a collection of fantasy stories by Angulica Gorodischer, translated
from Spanish by Ursula K. Le Guin. Although this is a story about a
child, it is not a children's story (no very graphic stuff, but certainly
mature themes).

"Is that my business? Well, what is my business? Do I know? Did I ever
know? Let s not go into that. You re not human tonight, Marlowe. Maybe
I never was or ever will be... Maybe we all get like this in the cold
half-lit world where always the wrong thing happens and never the right."
--Raymond Chandler, The Little Sister
