Another Volume I have so many authors I love who revisit characters on the regular, or settings on the regular, that I'm spoiled for riches, really.

#ShortStoryMonth Day Three — “The Green Sweater,” by Mark G. Harris
Meet-Cutes and Meet-Disasters I have a weakness for meet-cutes. I also have a weakness for meet-disasters.
