Today I received a rejected that is and isn't possibly mine. It reads as follows:

Dear Ms. Rosko,
Thank you for your submission to Dark Reveries. Although I read your story, "An Account of Johnny Luther" with interest, I regret to inform you that it was not the type of story we are looking for. While it was an interesting idea, I felt the ending was slightly abrupt and could have had greater shock value.

Best of luck in your future endeavors,

Very polite and a quick response time, but my story was titled, 'Dead Man's Trail' not, 'An Account of Johnny Luther.'

Should I send a polite e-mail asking if they meant me? They probably did reject my story but just in case ... Plus I feel a little weird adding a rejection to the collection that has the title of a story I never wrote.

Thanks :)

Thank you!! I wasn't sure what to do there for a sec, but even if they did reject me at least my story name will be on it. I'll e-mail them now,

Sorry, Rizzo. :( But you did the right thing. You deserved to be sure that they were rejecting your story and whoever wrote the other story deserved to know that it was rejected and not lost in cyber space.

I guess this could be a could thing. If I send another story and the same editor reads it she might remember me, and isn't that supposed to be what I want them to do?
