I've just started to read "Lightspeed" an on-line magazine of science fiction and fantasy where I came across this quirky short story from Carrie Vaughn, author of the Kitty Norville books.
I fell in love with the opening sentence:
George was about to declare his undying love for Annabell when the front of the train station fell over.
You can find read the story here for free or listen to the audio version.
Enjoy.
