Errata version 1.0:

These errors were fixed in version 1.1:

  • There's typo in the story "Bad Hair"; I wrote "cue" where I meant to write "queue".
  • In the story "Time Paradox", I wrote "You really don't know, don't you?" This should be "You really don't know, do you?"
  • In the notes about "For the Love of Mother," I say that the story was written in August 2020; that should be August 2019.
  • In the note about "Reflections," I say that the story was written in the context of Reedsy's Weekly Writing Prompts #35, but that should be #36.
  • In the notes about "Victor's Dilemma," I wrote "The story had story had to take place in a library or bookstore." That should be "The story had to take place in a library or bookstore."
