„Monster Girls Don‘t Cry“ by A. Merc Rustad. Maybe the girls don‘t but the story made me cry. A story about two sisters who are different, one trying to pass while the other doesn‘t want to. In the end acceptance of differences makes the real difference. 4*

„Bodies Stacked Like Firewood“ by Sam J Miller. Story about a funeral where two friends of the man who killed himself meet and try to find out if they could have prevented his death. Also includes in-depth analysis of the Great Gatsby. 3.5*
