sad, well written story.

I’ve read your stories. I like how you’re willing to take thematic risks. On this one story though, the market owner’s greeting Ali with “how you doing?” bothered me. He clearly knows her. Its the anniversary of 9/11. How does he think she’s doing? I don’t think anyone who knows her would ask her that on 9/11. But five for the try.

that’s very sad and sweet and well written.
