Five stories
Other people's Gods - excellent short story about idols
The Not-Dead and the Saved - fantastically written story about mother and dying son
Moss Witch - unimpressive, oddly highlighted as one of the few pieces of magical realism one of the judges appreciates (see the short stories of Haruki Murakami or Gabriel Garcia Marquez for some outstanding magical realism)
Hitting Trees with Sticks - a story about forgetfulness, itself forgetable; though I imagine could be poignant for some
Exchange rates - great story about father-son relationship
