Mini Review: Jay
A stranger shows up in town, with the ability to make people remember wrongdoings and admit them aloud. There's also a murder mystery aspect with someone slashing the throats of young boys.
For a story with so much reference to the age of the characters, it took a while for me to figure out how old some of them were. Strange story, not sure if I liked it or not.

MINI REVIEW // The House With an Inside But No Outside
"Once upon a time, there was a house in the woods that no one could see..."
This was a fun fairytale style story which includes a magical house. Of course I loved this one!

MINI REVIEW // The Last to Pass
A discussion of immortality and the downfalls of unintentional immortality.
I was very invested in this one and wanted more from it!

MINI REVIEW // Thirteen
A seemingly pointless story about unlucky numbers, in which the conflict doesn't get resolved, but just disappears.

MINI REVIEW // Larry
A story featuring an imaginary friend / guardian angel named Larry who speaks in an English accent and wears a Greek / Roman toga and bunny slippers
I actually enjoyed this one, and I think with a bit more of a final conflict, could become a decently interesting novella - I wanted more of Larry and Molly's begrudging friendship

MINI REVIEW // The Family Name
All about patriarchy and how boys carry on the "strong noble family name" from the view of a 12 year old boy with only two girls per grade in school.
Heavy handed in the morals, but still a good point to make

MINI REVIEW // How To Make Money Fast
In short? By taking part in a heist.
A fun fantasy heist story, though the MC's absolute belief in the mundane got a little tiring after a few pages. Like come on, Kyle, just admit that there are weird things going on.

MINI REVIEW // No Good Reason
I don't quite get this one - maybe there just isn't anything to get?
It's a short story about a guy coming into a coffee shop during a storm and telling the somewhat bored barista his life story. That's it.

MINI REVIEW // Daily Log From Outpost #602
Well, that ending was... weird
A very short story told through the daily logs of someone sent to a radio outpost in space to listen for alien messages from deep space.

Mini Review: Man of Her Dreams
Obsessive stalker fan gets into a romance with her favourite movie star, but add a dash of time travel and a moral teaching at the end.
Not my favourite, but it was okay
