I enjoyed the theme, but found the selection of stories hit-and-miss. Some I adored, some I rolled my eyes at.

Before It Disappears - 2
“With a tissue, he wipes his tears first and then his d—.” Yuck.

One More Thing Coming Undone - 3
The “twist” felt like the narrator had been lying to me.

White Wine - 4

Magdala, Who Slips Sometimes - 3
I liked it, but the diorama made too much of a caricature

Codas - 4

The Love Story - 4

The Human World - 1
A ridiculous premise, explored in a frustrating manner. Largely a list of examples of the unjustness of the world, presented without analysis.

It Was Summer - 5
Beautiful and deeply human
