The Pieta in Ordinary Time: And Other Stories

By William J. Cook

*What happens when Seattle is destroyed in a nuclear holocaust? *When all a young boy wants for Christmas is the left hand he lost in an automobile accident the year before? *When a woman travels to San Diego to commit suicide after the overdose death of her only son? *When a young man plots to humiliate his attorney father, running for public office, by taking a job in an adult shop? *When a psychiatrist's bipolar patient invites him to become his copilot when the aliens come back for him in their time-space ship? *When a priest hears the confession of a serial killer and is helpless to prevent him from killing again? These and ten other stories are a smorgasbord of short fiction, inviting the reader on a journey of droll humor, philosophical contemplation, suspense and terror.
