Pockets by Amal El-Mohtar

4.0

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.
