This story presents a gritty, realistic view of what the real consequences may be of people occupying space for long periods of time. It's written in an unusual second-person style in which you, the reader, take the role of a shoe-sales person talking with a person who has just dropped out of the orbital space culture. The main character talks directly to the reader, and the story is written such that you will automatically fill in the other side of the conversation. Highly unusual style, but it works well for this story. Year's Best Science Fiction Pick
