Girl Stuff: 1* I don't get it at all. Casey, Kim and Rae are girls at the beginning, before becoming something else. Kim becomes a truck and likes it a lot. Casey becomes a gun, then a bicyle and she tries a bunch of other shapes. Rae becomes a boy. Casey decides to shoot herself into the sun. Why? How does that world make sense?

This Story Does Not Exist: Ayako is an AI made by the Creator to write stories. That will take away something from the Woman, so she tries to drown the AI in the bath before leaving the apartment. Ayako is broken beyond repairs and the Creator is taking her apart, while the AI is writing stories for itself. Interesting. 4*

The Parsley Girl: I like this poem. A woman trades her unborn baby to a witch for some parsey she is craving. The witch raises Persinette as her apprentice, then the girl transforms into a princess, marries a prince and continues doing witchcraft.
