3. Jamie Richter's "When The Alphabet Vomits On A Birth Certificate" (B); download; humor: Crazy government requirements of would-be parents...
4. Christine Gladstone's "What If" (B); download: Lifecycle of life...

   See also: David Brin's "Crystal Spheres": Star travel is impossible because there is an invisible barrier around each star system that can only be breached from inside, not from outside...
6. Mark Webb's "Shipwrecked" (C); download: Elder aliens visiting earth some centuries ago cannot decide whether to destroy humanity seeing its cruelty, or help it mix with galactic culture in future...
7. David Scholes' "Trathh" (C); download: Adventures of some crash-landed aliens on earth. I didn't get the punchline, though.
