- “The Termite Queen of Tallulah County” by Felicity Shoulders, in Asimov’s Science Fiction, October/November 2010.
When Lacey Tidwell’s dad has an attack that leaves him unable to communicate, she completely takes over the family exterminator business including the occasional time-travel trip to delete the origins of various bug problems. I enjoyed the story, but was annoyed that Shoulders brings up the paradoxes without offering any solution.
