So, the screenwriter Derek Haas (of Brandt & Haas - "3:10 to Yuma," "Wanted," etc.) started a website that he's been inviting screenwriters to contribute short stories to that emulate the pulp fiction of the past. Coincidentally, I got an e-mail about it in late August - just as Devin was going over to Paris. As I'd sent him a bunch of recommendations of places to check out and was thinking about the place quite a bit around that time, I think my story, "Gare du Nord," is thereby dedicated to Devin.
The plot of "Gare du Nord" is pretty simple - a Muslim cab driver in racially-charged Paris has to decide whether or not he's going to stop what looks like a terrorist incident that's going to take place at the Gare du Nord train station.
You can read it (and stories from Scott Frank, Brian Helgeland, Patton Oswalt, Andrea Berloff and others) here:
