In the July 2007 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, Ray Vukcevich ably tackles a staple of magazine sf, the short short. Fredric Brown was the master of this. Vukcevich, in this entry, Cold Comfort,
adds an amusing example to the literature.
OK, maybe it's not a short short,
but just a short
— it's three pages long. Whatever its designation, it explores the idea of the Turing Test in an amusing way (a way I wish I'd thought of), and, were it not for the last sentence, which lays on false piety too thickly, it would be a classic.
