The Teacher - All these stories are pretty bleak. Gotta read this one in small doses. Again, the metaphor is strong with this one.

Where We All Will Be - This one had potential. Maybe needed to be a bit longer. Maybe hit you over the head with the metaphor too much… but also, I love an ambiguous ending but, Paul, you gotta end at least one of these stories definitively!

Nineteen Snapshots of Dennisport - I liked how this one was told, neat gimmick

The Getaway - Slow start but interesting.

Something About Birds - This was really good and then ended abruptly. Maybe I’m not smart enough to understand the ending.

The “swim” story was pretty good! Do y’all think the monsters were real? I don’t. Do you think Julie lives? Tremblay is the master of ambiguity.
