"Still on the Road", Geoffrey A. Landis

SS, ASFM (Asimov’s Science Fiction) December 2008 – science fantasy
A couple of guys travel the roads, driving from place to place. But their vehicle isn’t a car, it’s a spaceship. They give another guy a ride to a planet near Arcturus.

A very short story - less than two pages. It has a folksy feel to it.

"New Hat", Connie Willis

SS, Rocky Mountain News 9/30/08 - fiction
In 1924 a timid young woman named Clara travels alone to Denver to enquire about her Uncle Matt’s will. She realizes something about herself and her fiancĂ© Kane.

There are no fantastic elements in this story. This is a pleasant piece of short fiction.

I read this story on good, old-fashioned paper. But here's a link to read New Hat online on the Rocky Mountain News website.
