I’m quite charmed by this collection of stories all under 300 words. Some authors in this collection already show mastery, knowing how to choose their words as carefully as possible to imply memoria, lurking horror, or sudden twist. There is a preponderance of “cheating spouse” stories, which I expect would be the easiest to write in this format. But the haunting ones are QUITE haunting, and the successfully funny ones have me still thinking about the form of a short story days later.
