Such nonsense!
This collection, which I admit to discarding, really makes me worry for the quality of the future of the book industry!
So far I have struggled through three of the stories, I get the impression that there is a lot of 'the Emperor's new clothes' here. The writers are thinking how clever they are, and the judges want to be seen as 'forward thinking and also clever and insightful'
Frankly the tales are just plain daft, some are vulgar, and it is insulting to anyone who has a modicum of common sense that they are being presented as the best of current offerings.

Hate to see those that lost
If these are the short list I'd hate to see those that didn't make the cut.
The stories have no substance.
I didn't bother to listen to the last two.

Truly awful.
If this is a shortlist of the best short stories I find it hard to imagine how terrible the other stories must have been. Truly dreadful, pointless and not really ‘stories’ at all.

short stories lots of depth
I found that each story elicited some sort of emotional response from me, some subtle like the peace after a smile and some strong like the abyss after loss, well worth a listen to.

I'm obviously not smart!
Apart from Comma, which I vaguely understood, the meaning...the rest were utter wastes of time. All ending at pointless points, with no clarity or clear message.
Recommend? Definitely not. I genuinely feel 5 of 6 were a waste of time listening to.
If these were the best of 2019's entries, what on Earth were the rest like? Or, perhaps, the rest were too 'obvious' to be picked for this award. Who knows, but I certainly wasn't impressed by the endings of any of the stories; all too abrupt and meaningless.

How did these become Award Winners
I struggled to get my head around some of these tales. Unusual or just weird, up to you?

Disappointed
I usually like a shot story but these just left me feeling disappointed. And a lack of conclusion to most of them, made me feel how pointless was my time wasted listing to these when there are so many great shots story collections yet to be listened to. These really need a good editor to make them work for me. I'm just glad they were free.

Boring and depressing
Just glad it was free. Don't know how any of them made it to a short list to begin with
