Only read some:
-- Petrosinella by Rich Larson (6/2) - 2* Horror. "Rapunzel's" keeper cuts off all her hair to keep her from escaping. A friend who she planned to escape with helps her meet that goal .
-- Faithful Sister by James Patrick Kelly (6/17) - 1.5* I found it hard to understand but iirc, girls stand sentry, watching for something. "holy giant, stand guard" "charged you never, ever, to look away from the sea until they came"
One of them after a very long time finally sees something and turns her head to see if the others do and everything including her sisters are stone.
What does that mean?
-- Skin by Caroline Diorio (6/26) - 2* I think it was about a girl being guided by her mother to hide the shedding of her scales. The hiding of the fact that she is a mermaid. Do mermaids scale shed? So was she part snake instead? But then why was the scene at the end with the water so dramatic?
-- The Pamphlets Say by Liam Hogan (6/18) - 2* The pamphlets say you are not human. That you are a care robot, designed to look after me while I go through chemotherapy, alone. The pamphlets warn you have no emotions, that you are merely a good mimic. They say I should be clear in my instructions. That if I don't like something, I should tell you. I find you, writing the pamphlets. I pick one up and your motion stops, as you are programmed to do when I get too close, for fear that I might hurt myself against your hard exterior. The pamphlets say that you love me.
-- Fight Some Crime, Or I'll Tell Mom by Rachael K. Jones (6/9) - 4* She, like Rich Larson, always offers something new. I'll never skip a story I come across. Author note: I love stories about unusual superpowers, especially seemingly useless powers in the hands of people who don't really intend to exploit them. An older brother had the ability to fill things back up... (not wallets though :)

Bennardo (6/16) - Faithful Sister by James Patrick Kelly (6/17) - Lonesome Town by John Eric Gritland (6/19) - The Seven Billion Habits of Highly Effective Robots by Aidan Doyle (6/22) - The Fastener by Natsumi Tanaka (trans.
