Overall Score: 3.5/5* 
 The Bogeyman: 3/5 - Creepy yet annoying main character (maybe it was the way the narrator choose to read him) that I couldn't get past. This caused a lower rating. There wasn't much detail or fluff in this story. 
 I Know What You Need: 4.25/5 - I liked the characters and the creepy aspect to this story. Minus the "magic" aspect, I liked how closely similar this story could be to things still in our society. People don't always realize who people really are and unfortunately our need for constant connection to others through social media could potentially create problems like those seen in "I Know What you Need". I found myself zoning out at times while listening though. 
 Strawberry Spring: 4.5/5 - I really liked the "realness" of this story. I kind of saw the twist coming, but still thought it was really good. I would love to see this story fleshed out a little more in a novella format... to know how things are triggered, etc. 
 The Woman in the Room: 3.5/5 - This one really made me think about what I would do if someone I loved was in the same condition as the character's mom was. I didn't really feel all that connected to any of the characters though so didn't enjoy this story as much as I would have liked. 
 Battleground: 2/5 - Even though this story was action packed, I really didn't "get" it. I know lots of these shorts stories have magical or unrealistic aspects to them, but I just really couldn't understand the magical/sci fi parts of this story. I liked the action, but couldn't get past the little toy soldiers that were alive. I think I also needed a little more background in this story to understand who sent the box and why. 
 Gray Matter: 3/5 - Once again, I really didn't feel like I could connect with any characters which ended up making this story feel a little flat for me. It also felt like it ended very abruptly. I did like the science fiction aspect to this story... Couldn't tell you why I was able to accept this one, but not Battleground. 
 The Graveyard Shift: 4/5 - This one was good, but for some reason I was zoning out for a while here and there while listening. I couldn't figure out (through the zones) if the main character was young or old. I thought from the beginning that he was older, but he keeps getting called "college boy" which left me thinking he was actually younger. I liked the creepy aspect of this story because it was so realistic, however, I also felt as though this one ended quite abruptly as well. 
 The Man Who Loved Flowers: 5/5 - Loved this one. I didn't quite see it coming even though we are pretty much told (not out-rightly though) in the first several sentences who our main character is. This story felt very nicely rounded and even though we don't really get to know any of the characters very well, it felt suitable and well rounded. 
 The Last Rung on the Ladder: 4.5/5 - I could totally relate to the majority of this story having grown up out in the country. All the emotions felt throughout this story felt very real to me and I felt very invested throughout the story. I didn't quite see the ending coming though. 
 Night Surf: 1/5 - I really couldn't tell you what this story was about if I hadn't looked it up again. I had no clue that this story was supposed to be post-apocalyptic. I couldn't get into really anything about this story. The main character felt like a dick, his girlfriend was a whiner and the only part that really stood out to me (which I still couldn't figure out if it was real while listening to it) was that a group of teens burned a man on a pyre as an offering to some "gods" so they wouldn't get sick. Maybe if I had gone into it knowing a bit more, I would have felt a little more something for it.

 Quitters, Inc.: 4.75/5 -
