Two Short Stories So Far...Oops

So, It's the fifth and I have read only two short stories. This simply means that I will catch up tomorrow. Both of the following come from McSweeny's Volume 30. The first one I read was "Stowaways" by Nick Ekkizogly. First Impression...boring jobs = drinking. Second impression = chess is cool. Final thought = a story of suicide and regret. The second story was "Bad Karma" by Etgar Keret. It is essentially a story of a coma survivor who misses being in the world of the coma...a seemingly happier place than the Israel that he lives in. Neither story struck me as that great, nor that bad.
