A warm spring night at a '90s NBA playoff game. An emotionless, yet ninnyish sentient robot, a jilted diamond merchant; a woman running up the arena stairs thinking, "God, keep the government's depravity and poison away from my family!" What could go wrong?

“….She picks up speed, a lofting mantle of regret and reminiscence inside her, for these past few minutes have opened a Pandora’s-box-of-the-past; meanwhile, she is agitated with an excitement that she’s never experienced. She’s almost flying over the steps. She also wants a vodka neat. Her hand catches onto her neckscarf. That terrible-looking flesh fold on his forehead! My God. It’s him. I know it.”

JFK vs Predator is an alternative history, a sort of science fiction, and definitely a short story by Stacey Levine with illustrations by Chuk Baldock.

An early, unfinished version of this short story, illustrated by David Lasky, was published in the books section of The Stranger on March 6, 2013.
