So looking at the short stories the first one to peek my interest is the Mystery Stories. After looking through them they all seam very weird and random. From The Talking Cat to The Record Store to Strawberries every story has nothing to do with any of the other ones and each has its own brand of weirdness. Maybe the "Mystery" behind these stories is how they fit together, maybe it's like buying a bag of mystery candy at a candy store (Yes they're still around.) but instead of candy it's seven weird stories, or maybe the name is just as random as the stories themselves.
Reading The Letter From Home I was reminded of Mystery Stories. The Letter From Home felt like a bunch of sentences that either lousily related each other or didn't relate at all depending on what part of the story you were on. The first part sounded like a disaster was ensuing with everything that could go wrong going wrong, the second part sounded a little creepy but that might have been because I had watched a creepy video just before reading it, and the third felt like just random stuff happening. So that's two weird stories let's see if we can find a third one.
Yeah I think The List of Famous Hats is a good third weird story. Besides only listing one hat (Two if you count the one she mentions in the beginning) the story is kind of odd. Whether or not the story is true it is very strange that Napoleon only ever wore one bathing cap or that he could ever wear a cap that he wore as a baby no mater how much Vaseline is on his head. The final part about his pyramid head is also raises many questions like is Napoleon the guy in the Silent Hills series or what could the something his head might be be? Confused? Yes we are.
