Quick quotes

    There is a variety of stories, most aren't the classic mystery or crime fiction story.

    Some left me wondering what happened as it ended without a satisfying conclusion or I wasn't sure what the story was about.

    But then there were the poignant ones like "***" (yes that is the title of the story).
