Engaging Cattle A collection of brief phantasmagorical tales. A professional cattle tuner who falls for a beautiful clothesline sander. . A member of the resistance warns his confederates of the efficacy of a new decimal collector. Genetically modified corn goes rogue. A man exhausts his quota of words and has to seek more on the black market. A superhero retires to a remote village, where he grows weary of being asked to find missing cattle. A generic android goes for a night's fling before he is to be customized the next day. Love in a firestorm. And more.
