What are these short pieces supposed to be? Are they supposed to be deep? I mean, I'm reading it and I can't even get into it because the hook is so weak. You/he/whatever put no detail, no pull, you just say the title and start off with "There was, there is, this is about". If he wants my feedback, he'd start it off better where the person understands the story without being told at the very first sentence
