Still She Visits

A woman in therapy reflecting on the death of her sister. Deep shit. Really liked it.

When Water Stops

I liked this. Its giving more Tender Vibes. I see a theme.

A Pod Of Mermaids

No clue what I just read. Goddess kept adopting boys and raising them to become the absolute worst beings. Not her fault though, its on Loki. And then there were merfolk....

Unlimited Data
Woman being sacrificed for the greed of men

Phantasms of Existence
Trigger Warning: Child Loss

This was a quick read. I'm not 100% sure if it follows two different women or the first one transformed after trauma.

The Water Runner
Holy apocalyptic. This was super interesting. I would LOVE to see this adapted onto screen. It follows a water runner living in a desolate country. Without giving too much away it gave off solant green/ tender is the flesh vibes but with water....

Simbiyu and the Nameless- This was very dark and ominous. It's about a boy who is "cursed" with a dark entity that leaves a trail of death. Once he goes from fearing it to embracing it he gets everything he wants. I felt like this was a villain origin story. 3 Stars
