Step Closer - 5/5
Super creepy, and didn't shy away from any detail. One of the problems I often have with these short stories are the ambiguous/open endings, which often take away from the effect of the story as a whole. Step Closer was able to cover what I wanted it to, and offer a satisfying conclusion.
Dance With Me - 2/5
It was fine. Lol. Suffers again from the ambiguous ending.
Coming Home - 3/5
Cool lore implications, which definitely left the theorist in me humming. Shifts in perspective made the pacing feel off and choppy, and the mechanics of it kind of broke my brain?

Coming Home was the better novella and gave us a look into one of the children who was murdered by Afton. I really liked this story
