Goodnight, Ladies

by Zane Kotker

In this 100-page novella three women who've passed their 70th birthdays look around to find time short. How to spend these coming years? Nikki divides the days remaining into millions of minutes, Chessa gets a dog and Pru downsizes to a condo, only to discover that--with the loss of familiar objects--even her children begin to look a bit strange.

She returned to fiction in the late 1990’s with Try to Remember, and soon began researching for The Inner Sea.

Her short stories have appeared in Alaska Quarterly Review, The Antioch Review and elsewhere.
