Story 222/366
There’s a wonderful conceit at the heart of this story, and this is my favorite line: “It was hard to use musical code with someone sixty-seven years younger.” You can read Sexton’s story in Storyglossia (Issue 21, July 2007) here. You can also read more of her short stories on East of the Web.
