Asimov's Science Fiction: September 2013 - Plot & Excerpts
Although this is his first appearance in Asimov's, his fiction was published in a half dozen professional and semiprofessional genre magazines of the nineties, including Aboriginal Science Fiction, Absolute Magnitude, and Pirate Writings. Jay's stories emerge from life-long dialogs with people far smarter and more interesting than he is; polymath geniuses, visionary tricksters, activists, scientists, artists, cranks, writers, work-shoppers, and family members, most of whom Jay is pretty sure aren't aliens. But he wouldn't bet on it. You can find out more about the author's imaginary friends at www.jayoconnell.com. My supervisor messaged me Thursday night that a visitation request had been made in my name, and so I had Friday off. Chances were I'd be back to work on Monday. Nine hundred and ninety times out of a thousand that's what happened. That one in a thousand? Off icially, the aliens weren't responsible. Some people took advantage of the visitation to take off.
