Piles of Steaming Words Michael Pettengill

Two friends face imminent nuclear destruction... ...a cowboy finds his particular brand of magical talent... ...a scientist's quest for figurative immortality takes a gruesome and all-too-real turn... ...machines learn more about the human condition than their programmers planned... ...and two fish realize their dreams through an aquarium owner's hand-made puppet, and his autistic daughter. These five short stories pile steaming words onto the tragic, the profane, and the profound.
