Disconnected Ramblings

Wherein a wannabe-author publishes from the long list of almost all of their short stories since 2017, because a friend told me to.
Critique, feedback, etc. is appreciated. They're in approximately chronological order, starting from the earliest since I started saving my work, and ending with my most recent (so you can't make fun of me for the first chapters!!). It will be updated infrequently, but I'll be posting everything readable that I produce.
If something needs explanation out-of-story, or if I just feel like interjecting, I'll slot it into the chapter in italicized parenthesis.
I've started sharing this with potential employers as a sort of portfolio, so I might be shaping it up to look a little more professional. I am not cutting out old embarrassing work on principle, and I treasure the thumbnail as-is.
