Annalemma (etymologically, it’s related to “dilemma”) was kind enough to publish this.
They even paired it up with a photo that’s nicer than the story deserves, by a photographer named Ricarda Klinkow. Annalemma‘s editor, Christopher Heavener, runs a pretty good book blog here as well.
I was painfully obviously influenced by this classic John Cheever story, if anyone’s wondering.
