"Bullet Dance", John Schoffstall

SS ASFM (Asimov's Science Fiction) May 2007 - modern-day fantasy
Clio is the young daughter of an embassy official in Cairo. She claimed that she could dodge bullets. Others put this down as childish imagination. Even Clio herself, years later, thought her lessons were daydreams, until she needed to bullet dance.

This is a story where modern day issues intersect with unexplained fantasy. It's different, in a good way.
