james_davis_nicoll "A Most Unusual Greyhound" & " "Distant Replay" (Mike Resnick)
The first is a Damon Runyon pastiche in which the narrator bookie tries to help a werewolf find some way to make enough money to pay the bookie the money the bookie feels the werewolf owes him. The ending is kind of abrupt; I got the feeling the author got bored.
The second, a Hugo nominee, is a sentimental tale of an old man who notices a younger woman who looks a lot like his dead wife back when she was young and also not dead. The similarities go farther, which puts the old guy in an interesting spot that does not include him mashing on the woman in question.
Speaking of Hugo nominated, this ends with Resnick talking to his audience. His campaigning for the Hugo is pretty amazingly shameless.
