Where can I find the short story online?

Hi, I want to find this short story "Checkouts" by Cynthia Rylant online, I've looked and all I can find is the book to purchase that contains this. But I just want to find the actual story. Thanks if you are able to help.

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: You usually can't read recently published short stories for free online because of copyright. Authors and publishers want people to pay to read books.

The short story Checkouts by Cynthia Rylant appears in her collection titled "A Couple of Kooks: and other stories about Love." Dell Publishing, New York, NY.

Here's the entry from the WorldCat database.

You can plug in your ZIP code to see which libraries near you own a copy. Then you can check it out (for free)

Or call your local public library and see if they have it. The story might appear in other Rylant collections.
