Did you actually randomize them or just rearrange them by hand? 'Cause that first one is, I think, an excellent lead-off choice.

"It's always the quiet ones" -- oh yes, got my attention.
"Coming home late" -- I too like the sweetness there.
"It was only a fingertip" -- Mmmmmmmmm. So easy to put myself in that one.
"Various myths about sex" and "Marigolds are orange" -- amused me.
I liked the IM series as well. And your editorial reactions!

This is fun!
