I was a fan of this to an extent, but I feel like the cliche was a bit overdeveloped in some stories and some messages would have had more impact if I had more time to sit with the stories. Nonetheless, I enjoy short stories and the imagination they bring forth. I appreciated how a lot of the endings were mere insinuations and implications and there wasn’t always the happy conclusive ending you would expect. A summary of the stories could be something like this: an analysis of the human emotions of fear and regret, jealousy and spite, adventure and constraint, and an odd ode to patriotism. Favorite stories were: So Many Chances, The Caretaker, and Mkondo!
