I actually did both of these prompts when they were first posted. They're two of my favorites.

A tragic end to a tragic life. The description in this story was very good. I could picture what was happening clearly.
Since you like writing short stories, you should consider participating in the GA anthology. Guidelines can be found in the Anthology section of the Writer's Club.
You packed a lot into a short story... in a good way. I got a clear sense of all the characters and their relationships to/with each other. Leo will move on to his next disaster, Lulu will take care of Paul until the cancer takes him, and Jeffrey will take some antibiotics and wait for the next infection. Well done and well written. I'm looking forward to reading more of your stories.
Guan Hongye seems to be making Hong Shen more human. Great chapter! And thanks for posting two chapters this week. I'm looking forward to the next one.
Keep sending those stories in for the Fall anthology! There's still time to get one completed and sent to the review team Mine is almost finished and will be sent to my team soon.
It may be an unpopular opinion, but I have no problem keeping DST. I do have some trouble adjusting, but not for long. To me, it's just part of the change of the seasons.
A mystery, huh? I'm intrigued...
