This was a short story, but had some interesting characters.  The woman-- sorry can't remember her name is writing an article for a magazine when a huge storm hits and the power goes out.  She has no food and is hungry.  As she steps out onto the porch she smells meat cooking and her new upstairs neighbor offers her some food for dinner.  She is about to refuse, but decides she is hungry and it wouldn't be safe to go out in the storm.  After they are done eating and the storm has stopped, she and the man upstairs go for a walk.  He also happens to be her new boss.  As they are out walking around they hear some noises for help and find a cat and her kittens in the storm drain.  Her boss finds a man hole and checks it out.  He then tells her she will have to go down and get the cat and kittens.  She is appalled and is he crazy?  When he explains - she understands and does has he suggests... There are disgusting things down in the man hole and anyone would be crazy to go down there, but she does and rescues the cats.  Later as they are going upstairs to take care of the cats and change clothing, her coworker Gabe is there and it becomes a struggle to see who will win.  Gabe says he is has been worried about her.. Her phone died and he could not get a hold of her, so he drove across town to check on her and to ask her to dinner.  Will she go with Gabe?  -- The story is short and is a preview of others to come.  Looking forward to more from this author
