Nice little creature feature with an ambiguous ending, which isn't for everyone. Probably would have rated it a 3.25 had the setting been somewhere other than Cape Cod since I love it there so much.

The First Five Minutes of the Apocalypse by Brandon Applegate
3.0
I'm giving this 3 stars because that's what the average rating of all the stories was, but I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Way too many weak stories.
