description: You’re about to face off with an Ashcroft van, break out from an assisted-dying facility, witness a volunteer crucifixion, endure a Neanderthal eviction, and journey to the end of time on a porch glider. Fearless, irreverent, and surprisingly optimistic short stories fill this collection from a science fiction veteran known for taking readers on a wild ride. Each of these ten blazingly satiric short stories will leave you exhausted, outraged, and eager for more. The surreal adventures this time around include an escape from an assisted-death facility in "Greetings," a mystical journey to the end of time and back in "Dear Abbey," and "Almost Home," the story of a fantastical ride in an old-fashioned aeroplane.Contents"Almost Home""Come Dance with Me""Dear Abbey""Death’s Door""Greetings""I Saw the Light""Openclose""Scout’s Honor""Super 8""The Old Rugged Cross"
