Short Story #6 - Poochie

Girlhood is keeping a middle-aged business man as a pet with your best friend

Short Story #5 - The Time of the Large Star

Another short Short Story! Commentary on living in a capitalist society and working even though you should be sleeping (my interpretation at least). Child’s perspective vs adult’s perspective. Very sad but also sweet

I do think it’s really cute to start a family with your platonic friends. Who cares what society thinks!!!

Short Story #4 -Two’s Family

Even sweeter story about the two elderly women, except now they live together and have three daughters they raise (but they’re not lesbians noooooo)

Short Story #2 - A Magnificent Spread

Very cute story about respecting each other’s cultures, and cautionary tale about how you shouldn’t carelessly mix different cultures with each other (at least, that’s how interpreted it).

I really liked it! It was fast paced, funny, and it didn’t really go towards what I was expecting (I thought it was about cannibalism lol)

7.5/10 very nice very good

Short Story #1: A First-Rate Material

BANGER!!! I love the capitalist commentary through the whole ‘still being useful to society even after you die.’ On the other hand, it does have a sweet side with family members being able to still have you as a working part of the family in a way? So it might not be entirely capitalist but maybe also loved ones staying with us after death commentary?

Anyways 10/10
