Look I don't read stories with kids in. At all. They are one of my squicks. Only this story just proved the exception to the rule. It made me laugh and shiver all at the same time. Absolutely fantastic writing with just the right undercurrent of horror.
Best paragraph I've read for a while: Colonel Sheppard said when we were walking to the village that I was an ambassador because I showed another way of being a kid besides living in a tree-house and hunting and wearing war paint all the time and not having to wash. I guessed this was a good opportunity and pointed out that it’s not really fair that those kids are getting help to be more like me and I’m not getting a tree-house. Colonel Sheppard said “I’m not sure about that.” Then he said “Ronon can I talk to you for a moment?” and they went into the back of the shuttle so I bet they were planning it all already
