Luckily, he didn’t specify whose stories. So here’s a Bombay story for a Bombayite.
Enjoy.

'She's talking to that mirror again, farther?' says Misst Craddock. Father Cradock turns round slowly from the book he is eating and explains that it is just a face she is going through and they're all the same at that age.

Can I ask what it is you like about this story? I am not much of a fan-- I think it's very overwritten, "crowded India" feel, and it's interesting that it has so many glosses of words for a foreign audience. Thus, though the story is set in the future, its understanding and pandering to the politics of reception is very much British-colonial.
But I don't know the age or experience of the writer so I may be being unfair.

be outta ink
when you really
will want to write
a godawesome story
that the world
will later miss
for you purposely missed
the meaning of marked words

ok now, that story.
nice, but too verbose.
tried to pull something like a william gibson or something - nice at that but will maintain - too verbose :)
Equivocal: sorry abotu the delay. Actually, I'm not sure I like the story at all; on the other hand, I found it interesting for the dystopia it manages to conjure without merely making lists.
As to age and experience, I don't think they're accurate indices of ability!
Jugal: I agree with you and equivocal that the story is too verbose. It certainly could have done with some sharp editing.
Oops! typo! That's 'about' in the previous comment.
