“ no place for good people”
This one is about a man who works with three men who are intellectually disabled… the R word is thrown a lot in this short story. One of them wants to go to Hooters for his birthday, but when they get there, it’s closed down. Again, talking about fat people and retarded people. Very not PC.

“A dark and winding Road” A man leaves his pregnant wife and visits his childhood cabin in the woods. Smoking marijuana makes him panicky and strange A woman knocks on the door, looking for his brother. They end up doing drugs together “ I let her do whatever she wanted to do to me that day in the cabin. It wasn’t painful nor was it terrifying but it was disgusting just as I’d always hoped it would be”

“The Weirdos”

Moon Kowalski is a pop up character. The narrator is livjng with her wannabe actor boyfriend who she can’t stand, yet can’t stand to leave. They talk about shooting Egyptian Crows, and he has a strange skull he rubs for good luck called “Skully”. St the end he loses all his acting drive and becomes a meth addict, and now “maybe he is the man of her dreams”

read the story called “Malibu“ and this was from the perspective of a man… With acne, bulimic, looking for a partner. Highly judgmental with very little room for error-despite himself being somewhat ogrish. He sits around with his uncle who is on a colostomy bag and watches TV and throws up anything they eat. He finally has a chance for love, but his ego gets in the way.
