Transcendence 3 - just a nice story
White dove becomes black crow 5 - it felt like I was reading my own mind. Complex, simplicity weaved.

The big Texan 3 - just a gross nice story

Deep hollow close 2 - ugh. So boring and long winded. Hate these story's that do intersting things and then hard cut to the next thing with no explanation. I think I get the ending but jeez sooo drawn out

Exchange 3 - interesting take on a sort of thruple. Supremely boring ending though

Poking holes 5 - tw trypophobia!! I have it and was able to manage my way through but it's rough

The meaning of life 3 - I'm not a family person so it's not a hit for me but the general through line was interesting

Wow … I loved this. While not the intention, this captures what it’s like for a person with OCD to break an obsessive thought spiral.

I thought this was the best one yet. I enjoyed most of the stories. There were 2 that weren't my favorite, but weren't horrible.
