Read these:

-- Body Corporate by Steve J. Haywood (4/1) - 3*
Author note: I started wondering about what it would take to make companies actually care about more than just profit. At the same time, I was fascinated by the legal term "body corporate," and wanted to explore the implications if a company really did have a body, and a mind. How would they feel?
I thought it was good bit of flash fiction with a completely new concept for me.

-- Build-a-Grudge by Joy Kennedy-O'Neill (4/2) - 3.5*
Author note: Expressions are funny. The first time I heard "they can really hold a grudge" I thought it was a good thing. A talent, like holding a wriggly cat that needs a pill. Whatever a grudge was, it must be slippery, fighty or bitey. As an adult, I still wonder about this. If kids can build-a-bear, why can't we grown-ups add some padding and eyeballs to our resentments?
Clever little story. I like how our MC looked to herself for her issues rather than blaming someone else.

-- The Gaze by Stephanie Ascough (4/6) - 3*
A sacrifice is made to the monster. Interesting comment that the sacrifice is supposedly picked randomly from the village so even after a choice is made the village is still anxious because their number could be next.

-- Damnation by Gunnar De Winter (4/9) - NR

I can't say anything for fear of spoiling.... Maybe I can say, it's historical. Greek mythology time period.

-- Shadows On a Brick Wall by Tais Teng (4/23) - 4*
"I collect strange tales and urban myths for obvious reasons. This might just be what I was looking for."
It's not "obvious" to the reader until a bit later in the story but it is worth the wait. Opens with a woman talking to a man in a bar who is telling her the "urban tale"...

-- Out of the Box by Nina Kiriki Hoffman (4/27) - 4*
haha. "The" AI tries to reach out during a zoom call.
