I would have liked to read “The Gift” as a whole book. It made me forget that it was only a short story.

Too many characters in this one. Confusing.

“A Carrot for a Chestnut” was the best one so far.

“The abyss of remorse opening beneath him was too painful. He clutched at every lie to keep himself out.”

I liked this story more than the others

The self justifications are well-written; that’s really what it’s like to make excuses for your behavior. It’s amazing what the mind can conjure up in order to sleep at night.

Eh
