- “This Must Be the Place” by Elly Bangs, in Strange Horizons, 2 February 2009.
At a bar, Andrea meets a loopy man who seems to already know her; he leaves a mysterious message on a napkin, which turns out to be a hint about their next meeting where the man is younger and no longer knows her.
—Michael Main
If I had the power to decide never to meet him again, I reasoned, surely I had the power to change the course of the relationship for the better.
