1. All These Ghosts Are Playing to Win by Lindsey Godfrey Eccles
I've read better afterlife story, is all. 2 ⭐
2. The Infinite Endings of Elsie Chen by Kylie Lee Baker
Building an AI to learn cause and effect. I love this! It's basically predicting which of the smallest event in one's life, that's actually a point of no return. You could be killed by a serial killer because your umbrella breaks, something like that. 5 ⭐
3. A Lovers’ Tide in Which We Inevitably Break Each Other; Told in Inverse by K.S. Walker
Are they both monsters? The other guy is a merman, I think. Either way, marvelous! Red flags everywhere tho but the telling is great! 5 ⭐
4. The Rain Remembers What the Sky Forgets by Fran Wilde
Idk if this is historically accurate: about a bill that forbids the use of real birds' feather for accessories. The story revolves around that. 3 ⭐
5. Désolé by Ewen Ma
Classic story about a person who is implanted with chip. There's grief too. 2.5 ⭐
- The Mausoleum’s Children by Aliette de Bodard
- Want Itself Is a Treasure in Heaven by Theodora Ward
- And For My Next Trick, I Have Disappeared by Chimedum Ohaegbu
