Sympathy for rats 3- the title is a command. If you don't listen, you might rip this story out and burn it.
Slide to unlock 5- its inventive stories like these that make me keep this subscription.
The bogdanov 5- I need a whole book please! Choosing Mathew as the main really makes this story soooo interesting. The whole time I'm like, he's crazy or wait..maybe he's onto something. No way...well hmmm.
Fatter 4.5- the concept was blah but the execution was pretty great.
Pieces 5- it's a story about "huh i never thought about that, intersting"
The aspiration 3- whew, buckle up. This was a ride I didn't hate but most certainly didn't love. Getting to the end was fine enough, standard story progression. Then the ending, well they much have thrown a dart at all the worst options and we got this.

Interesting.....
I received this short story book with my BOTM membership. Good because it was free, good because they are short & quick, otherwise I am not impressed.
