Status Updates From Third Class Superhero

"Autobiographical Raw Material Unsuitable for the Mining of Fiction" captures brilliantly the anguish of a writer who wants to write the story of his mother's life before she dies, but suffers writer's block. A coda of sorts to "Reality" and it affected me profoundly.

"32.05864991%": a brilliant treatment of the word "maybe", that Schroedinger's cat of matchmaking, carrying multiple probabilities and meanings, which we anticipate with dread or hope, but always collapses to a single state in every alternate universe, except perhaps this one. Wow.

"Man of Quiet Desperation Goes on Short Vacation": in which the titular man, 46, realizes his lack of agency and can't stop running between "middles". Like the previous story, very meta and full of profundity.

"Florence": a tale about cosmic distances and time, about the senescence of humanity, and regret, and loneliness. Oof.
