Sorry, it didn't ring any bells when I read over it... though I can kind of say the same thing about most of that series. ;) Not bad by any means, but...
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

Ohh I think it is an easy one! My guess is: The Gap Into Ruin:This Day All Gods Die - Stephen R. Donaldson
Dandelion don't tell no lies
Dandelion will make you wise
Tell me if she laughs or cries
Blow away dandelion


I'm afraid there's no denying
I'm just a dandelion
a fate I don't deserve.

I'll kick start the game with a fairly easy one:
I wanted to look ***** ********* in the eye while I said goodbye. And thank you.

Ok, it is time to call this a washout and ask for a hint or maybe another one?

No, not from a short story, but yes, The Killing Stroke does rock. Penance was great too.

Well the 1. person viewpoint probably means one of the "Man who..." books. At least they are the only ones I remember as having that viewpoint, but which one? Unfortunately my copies are stored in some boxes somewhere right now.
