The Unexpected and Altogether Astonishing Sojourn of Milo Keene

Welcome to Moningers Fall, Oregon, an unremarkable little town on the south coast where the most extraordinary things tend to happen. (And no, it's not spelled wrong; the Fall just happens to be a town with ambivalent feelings toward punctuation.) In this short story, we meet Natalie Tenacre and her new beau, Milo Keene. Milo, who is one of the extraordinary things that transpire in the Fall, discovers that sometimes you actually can get what you wish for.
