Tool-Using Mimics: The author takes a photo - perhaps a real take or perhaps from a copypasta forum and comes up with a bunch of possible micro-stories that could go along with the photo.

The persistence of blood: A combination of Dune and Handmaid's Tale, this novella is the story of a woman trying to make the world a better place for women. Powerfully written.

I read all the shorties first before digging into The Persistence of Blood, the novella for this month. Farewell, Adam was the best of the shorties by far, telling an interesting story about how we treat celebrity status, telling it in a very unique way. The other shorties mostly fell flat for me. Hoping the novella is good.
