The opening story "Because we must begin somewhere" feels weak and rushed. The narrator keeps referring to the protagonist Johnny as an idiot, yet nothing is shown as to what makes him an idiot. The narrator implies that being friendly makes him an idiot. There are many things that can make someone an idiot and being friendly is not one of them. Who is Johnny? Why should we as readers appreciate him?
