Pockets, by Amal El-Mohtar
Pockets is a fine SF story in that it works through a very simple premise in a very beautiful way. Our protagonist is a woman whose pockets start producing objects she did not put in them. Her response and pursuit of the cause develop the story. It's a very worthwhile read in the World Fantasy Award short fiction category. I give it 3 stars.
