Dream Baby - Bruce McAllister. A story about the Vietnam war. I skipped it.
Flowers of Edo - Bruce Sterling. Another story I skipped.
Forever Yours, Anna. - Kate Wilhelm. A story about a man who falls in love with a writer of letters. Mystical.
At the Cross-Time Jaunters’ Ball - Alexander Jablokov. A fun little story about time line jumping employee of the immortals.
Dinosaurs - Walter Jon Williams. A very creepy story where man kind has segmented to become one.
The Temporary King - Paul J. McAuley. A lost village meets a man from a technologically advanced society. Lost Innocence.
Perpetuity Blues - Neal Barrett Jr. Another odd story that is more mystical than science fiction.
Buffalo Gals, Won’t You Come Out Tonight? - Ursula K. Le Guin. A fun story about a lost little girl who is found by Coyote. Again, not science fiction.
The Pardoner’s Tale - Robert Silverberg. An alien race has taken over the world, requiring most of the population to do forced labor. The pardoner can fix this...

Night of the Cooters - Howard Waldrop. The Martians Invade Texas, and meet with a Texas Welcome.
Shades - Lucius Shepard. A ghost comes back to haunt the place he died in Vietnam. Bittersweet, but unremarkable.
