All three are unquestionably written by the same human as they are all as wretched as each other. Pretentious prittle prattle that I should like to highlight with two passages taken from TWO DIFFERENT STORIES (FFS)
Story 1.: "When I looked closer, I noticed an alliance of galaxies...They reminded me of cornflakes scattered in milk, unattended and already moist"
and
Story 2.: "You are eating your morning cereal. The milk doesn’t know. It doesn’t ask."
The author is either a wake and bake specialist and prefers to write whilst the rest of the house sleeps, or, more likely, when food is pushed under his door by a tearful parent.
In story 3., we are treated to this, a fish-bone analogy which, in all honesty, I'd have preferred never to have read, so poor is it:
"They stuck like ideologies, and they were painful to wash down."
All in all, no amount of home-grown can redeem this utter drivel.
1 star out of 5 - I quite liked the font.
