in our 'Summer Fiction' issue featuring '20 under 20'.
VANESSA: It's a contest for young unknown writers and I might
have submitted you.
DAN: Oh, my God! I'm gonna be published! I mean 'The New Yorker'... This can't
be, this can't be real! Is this... is this real?
SERENA: This is so great! I haven't even read one of your stories.
