The Stanley Cup Caper by Robert J Sawyer

Being only three pages long this is best described as flash fiction.

It was commissioned by the Toronto Star which asked Sawyer to imagine Toronto 30
Years in the future.

I liked what it did to normalize the present tech trends and to move past today’s political and social hand-wringing.

Somebody stole the Stanley Cup right out of the arena on the night the Toronto Maple Leafs won the cup.

It was campy and fun. But if you’re not Canadian, well, it won’t mean much to you.

Once again this collection does it’s job of exposing the reader to stories they could have easily missed.

A good one.
