Science-based fiction

  The seventh story was basically straight-up science fiction
  - like, real science-based fiction. The story came out in
  2017, but it takes place in the "future," meaning the first
  half of 2025, and it wraps up on June 10, 2025!

  It follows this doctor who's running a drug trial with hockey
  players dealing with brain injuries from the sport.

  There's nothing you'd call classic sci-fi here - no aliens, no wild
  side effects from the drug (so, no zombies or anything like that).
  Honestly, there weren't any big twists in this one, unless I missed
  something. You could say it kind of lets down anyone looking for
  the usual genre stuff, but it does give you a slice of how medical
  research actually goes down. If it weren't told from the doctor's
  point of view, it could almost be a feature in a newspaper.
