Bought to read Bob Leman's story. Didn't really enjoy it. I also read Lisa Tuttle's story. It was alright and Pooka's Bridge which I thought was good.

~Skirmish on Bastable Street by Bob Leman 2* - Guy rescues demon from pit and gets 3 wishes but can only think of 2. 3rd will be granted to a direct descendant. Takes 100s of years to have one with the same name. Wish ended up sending demon back to pit. I'm confused. Why time loop?

~A Friend in Need by Lisa Tuttle 3* - Imaginary friend turns out to be a real girl able to project herself.

~Pooka's Bridge by Gillian Fitzgerald 3* - wife and heir hidden away asks local supernatural legend "Pooka" for help. She and Pooka fall in love but she wants to take care of her earthly responsibilities like seeing her son re-claim the thrown when older. She is "old" and tells Pooka she is ready but is fearful that he won't love "old lady" her. He restores her youth and asks "Will you leave me alone to grieve for all of my days?" ( )
