DNF mid chapter 2/story 2.
Actually chapter/story 2 was looking a lot stronger than the first one but because the first story was soooo disappointingly boring, unconvincing, clicheed, dry and stiff, I lost any further appetite for the rest. So once I put it down I just left it there and it's been 4 months and, really, there are tons of other short stories to invest time in. This one, unless it is the only book I end up having with me on a deserted island, is not one of those.
