As usual with an anthology, hits and misses. Most of the stories were "well, I'll read them to see if it gets good; at least it's short". And some of them got good…

The ones I enjoyed more than others

• The Cleaners


• The first part of The Long Walk


• Two Truths and a Lie


• And This is How to Stay Alive


• The Rat


• One Time, a Reluctant Traveler


• Skipping Stones in the Dark


• Brother Rifle


• Schrodinger’s Catastrophe (probably the best of the lot, both for idea and execution)


• The first part of The Pill


• the idea from The Beast Adjoins
