Fourteen Days

Very strangely edited. I thought each day would have a different collaborator, but the same characters had multiple collaborators. One story just goes right into the next with some disjointed group talks in between. The majority of the stories went on way too long and the stories I liked the best were the quickest. Out of everything the only ones I enjoyed were The one about the Nun and Elijah Maine's stories, “Iron Lung” and the one about the curses with the ice cubes. I found the spider one very intriguing. You don't find out who rode what until the end which was also interesting. I think at the end of the day I would have preferred a connected short story format instead of this disjointed novel format. Also the ending how they all died was SO stupid. I hate stories like this. Especially in using COVID as a plot device. With some of these stories sappy and some hopeful themes (like the cheering of healthcare workers everyday) you would think there would be a more positive ending. Maybe even a flash forward 1 year later to see where everyone ended up.
