When she starts pulling things that are not her own, out of her pockets, Nadia realizes she has a...what? A gift, a curse, just what is happening to Nadia? Another author might turn this into a horror story and then I'd call what happens to Nadia, a curse, probably. This story, for me, is a story of hope and sharing, and we find that the sharing can be much more than things. The story involves pockets and things that come out of Nadia's pockets but we find that something more important than things can come out of pockets, with the ability to comfort and uplift another person.
I read this short story at https://uncannymagazine.com/article/pockets/ after I read Sandy's review of this story.

Many thanks to Debbie for recommending this short-story.
I loved it. It intrigued me and kept me interested. I loved the premise. It reminded me of a time when I was twelve or thirteen and I had some secret admirers who'd leave anonymous "love notes" in my mailbox.

This story drew me into its exciting little world until I too felt the magic in pockets. Stylistically, it's unlike anything I've read before, and I'd like to read more by the author!

i really liked this!! the pockets concept was super interesting and the characters were sweet and well conceptualised. i kind of wanted this to be a longer story - more like a novella than a very short story because i think the storyline could have expanded really well and like the main character Nadia, i kind of wanted an explanation for the inter dimensional pockets.
