This is a good sci-fi horror ten minute or so length tale.  Lori a popular cheerleader back in the 80s, made an effort to be nice to everyone, including Adam the acne ridden loner with no friends.  When he asks her to sign his yearbook she makes an effort to be nice to him but since she doesn't know him that well struggles to come up with something personal, so just goes with the generic Don't Ever Change.  Decades later she's back in their small town for her mother's funeral, and not wanting to see her father yet decides to walk the halls of her old school.  A lot has changed but someone hasn't.It was a decent read, you'll definitely be checking your yearbook just out of curiosity at least to see if someone wrote for you to stay cool, or don't ever change.  This is a lot different to John H Carroll's for demented children short story titles, although this one certainly has a demented child in it.  I liked it but never really got how Adam knew the rules of what he had to do, also why this was happening to him wasn't explained, a hypothesis of why it is possible yes, but not why Adam in particular was the victim.
