"Publisher's reader" - no amount of suspension of disbelief is enough. "Stories from a box" - nothing against filling in a few blanks, but this asks you to write the entire story...

"Lost and found" was another really good one! Very non-explicit and intriguing

A bit up and down this one, but very read worthy as a whole.

"Damien factor" was nothing short of brilliant! Intelligent and wondrously scary. To quote Ministry: The mind is a terrible thing to taste.

Oh, darn, here I've gone on and on about the stories being too short and when a longer one comes along it grabs me not at all... oh well, plenty more to go!

One too-short "waterworld" variant and one a bit silly cyber-steampunk yarn...

Lots of references to the robotic laws - would perhaps be a bit more inventive to not use a concept from the 40's?

Who the h... is Erik Odeldahl and how come I don't already know that!? Bloody brilliant story! (Getting to the end). This alone will have been worth it and so many authors wish they could write like that, I'm sure...

Second story was ok with it's modern "piper's" theme, but, really, meh...
