Stories based on paranoia are incredible, my first hand experience on these kinds and now I wanna read more but with more closed endings. Overall the sorties are really nice, some better than others of course. My favorites are ‘Fragments of a Diary’ incredible writing, ‘The Cell’ the character exploration makes me wanna read an entire novel just on this,  ‘Musique Concrete’ uff the spiraling in this one, ‘End of a Struggle’ like just imagine this happening to you also hate this man, ‘Tina Reyes’ very relatable, ‘The Breakfast’ so imaginative!
The only advice would be to not read if you don’t like open endings and also don’t binge read this it hits different when read the collection once in a while.
