Busy Little Bees by Polenth Blake
This scifi concept was a bit hard to grasp at first. Once it became clear I did like the little heist like plot. I also liked the puns that came with the clear symbolism. However, there’s a lot of unanswered questions with this world building and while it’s intentional I’m not sure it’s for me. It is a concept that I have seen before and do not particularly gravitate towards.

Not to die by Rosiee Thor
I really liked her book fire becomes her and this short story was only a reminder to read Thor’s other works. This was a really fun concept, good writing and lively characters even with how short the story was.

Seams of iron by Adriana C Grigore
This plot is really amazing and the magic in this is very interesting. I also liked some of the quotes. While parts of the writing are beautiful, the amount of similes is a bit overwhelming especially in the beginning.
“When she was little, she’d wanted to know big things about the world. Now that she was a bit bigger, Erin found herself wanting to know little things.”

Shift by Mika Stanard
I loved this one as well! It was not at all subtle but that’s okay with me because it was really cute and wonderful. I would happily read a longer version of this.

Half a heart, Ren Oliveira
This STORY! I loved it.
It is magical and strange. It is about hope and the world ending and set in a magical forest.

A full Deck, Avi silver
This short story is very confusing at first and I was a bit frustrated with all the strange names that were thrown at you immediately.
However, I really liked the concept and the plot of this. I thought the banter was fun and the puns were good. The writing also had some creative similes.
Discography, Ian Mahler (p227)
A poem. While the idea is good, the form was not interesting to me.

Asteris III (Marjorie King)
A story about Elanor who is about to launch into space. I felt underwhelmed and wanted more. It had many scifi elements but none of them were really explored. It felt too short. It is about the earth becoming completely uninhabitable but it does not really go into that. It is about what makes a person and memory, but that is also just mentioned. Ironically, it did not really go anywhere.

Continuing my short story per day challenge :)
Fishing over the bones of the dragon (Jeff Reynolds)
This is a story in which a father and a son are fishing (as the title suggests) and they are trying to talk but having difficulty opening up about their emotions. It’s about an experience they share, trauma, time, magical dream- no nightmare- worlds. Weird things are going on but I liked it.
