Christmas with Papa 1 star (view spoiler)[ Well that was short and awful. I didn't appreciate the way she treated her father or the way she insinuated a relationship more than father and daughter. The ending wasn't great. (hide spoiler)]

Rig Rash 3 star (view spoiler)[ The town Sanctuary is just an oil town, isn't it? Seems like there is something strange in the water, soil, air, and just about everything in the town. There may be a lot of money to be made for a working girl, but it sure seems like it's not worth it as something gets in the body and seems to infect it. This was a much better story than the first one was. (hide spoiler)]

Goth GF 2 star (view spoiler)[ Another one that had icky sexual content that I don't think was necessary. (hide spoiler)]

The Turkey Rumble 2.5 stars (view spoiler)[ If someone I had been seeing for 6 months told me this was his family tradition I would have said, um I don't think I"m going to be able to keep seeing you as this is just cruel. The story was interesting though. (hide spoiler)]

Lord Deliver Me from this Awful Hunger 2.5 (view spoiler)[ This wasn't an awful story and it was kind of interesting to think that so many deliver drivers die when trying to deliver him food. Just not sure it was really story worthy. (hide spoiler)]

This Todd. 1.0 Stars (view spoiler)[ I found this story offensive and distasteful. (hide spoiler)]

Save Me Stranger. 2.5 (view spoiler)[ During a robbery a young man, Vance, takes the place of a mother and is killed. There doesn't appear to be any reason for the robbers to have killed him and his last word to the mom was Olivia. The mom and her daughter, Mina, search and find Olivia. But Olivia barely remembers Vance. Not really sure what the point of this story is. (hide spoiler)]

Turkey Rumble

what the heck
that would be a hell no for me as well, I totally agree with Theresa (message #5)
