The Short Of It. Saturday, December 04, 2004. By Ray Banks,. Noir, great suspense, and a twist (that's an unexpected reversal of expectations, not a woman). Nope, no women in this one other than the odd passerby, but that doesn't hurt the story at all. What we have here is a bored bureaucrat in a dead end job seeking excitement. And boy does he get it. I don't know what a cringe combined with a delighted grin looks like but my wife does. She's still watching me out of the corner of her eye. By David Cox,.

The Short Of It. Saturday, December 11, 2004. By Gary Warren Niebuhr, Hardluck Stories. I think that bears repeating: Damn! If this story doesn't hit one of the "Best Of" anthologies next year, I'll eat my hat. And it's a big, dirty hat. Just look at my picture, and you'll know what I mean. I'm having a hard time coming up with words for this one. Anything else I say will be gilding the lily. If you haven't already read this story, click on the link above. You'll thank me for it.
