-- Whatever Happened to the Boy Who Fell into the Lake? by Rob Costello - 1* WTF!
CW: Content warnings: child abandonment and child abuse
Why did the author tell this story? Why did he do this to the boy? The abandonment was more painful for me than the abuse. Bullshit ending. I hated it. Will not read another by this author.

That was fun and much needed after the last story. *grumble*. A summoned demon and an older woman are "getting things done". That's a Dead Like Me references for those that don't know: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxzx9yp-Zwc

-- Picass-O-Matic by Paula Keane - 3*
A plastic surgeon robot misunderstands their boss's "you're no Picasso" statement. And works on show more fixing that. hehe


-- Mamá Chayo's Magic Lesson - Tato Navarrete Díaz 2.5*
A grandmother teaches her granddaughter (witches) about not forcing her will on the elements that she has power over.

Skipping the others show less
