Review: Nice Compilation But Rather Short and Abrupt

I've read several of Joshua Scribner's short stories over the past two weeks, and this is one contains two very short stories (is there such a thing as a short short story?).The first story is one of his better ones, although I thought it ended rather abruptly, almost as if he was tired of writing it.  However, the good outweighs this and I thought it was enjoyable.The second story was a little weird, and without having a spoiler it probably could have used a few more paragraphs of background information on the boyfriend as I'm not too sure I "got" it.  Similar to my comments on the first story in this compilation, the ending happened rather abruptly.All in all, I thought the two stories were good and entertaining and combined they are a perfect 10 or so minute diversion during your lunch break.
