- Book 4 of 6: Collected Short Stories
Eleven short stories and a poem that show us what comes after the end of all we know.
This is the fourth volume of the collected short stories of Joe Vasicek. It includes:
The Manchurian Paradox
We have met our timeline's enemy and he is us.
A Fatal Rebirth
Nothing in this world should live forever-not even civilization itself.
The Final Turning
This is how the world ends: not with a bang, but with a whimper-thanks to me.
The New Covenant
To restore a fallen America, an ancient and terrible covenant must be renewed.
Hearken and Behold (by J.M. Wight)
"Hearken, oh ye hypocrites, and behold the desolation that is already come upon you!"
The End of Elysium
For the promise of paradise, the last civilization will surrender to the apocalypse.
The Promise of King Washington
When the aliens came, it wasn't a military invasion: it was an economic one.
(Again, Hazardous Imaginings, December 2020)
Lord of the Slaves
"Everyone secretly wants to be a slave. Those who deny it simply haven't found the right master."
The Other Side of Reality
What if your future self came back to give you advice, and all it did was confuse you?
Schrödinger's Diaper
"Stays clean and dry until you're free to change it!" ...except not quite.
(Bards and Sages Quarterly, April 2022)
Two Hours Ago
A time machine without paradoxes, so long as it's not abused.
Welcome to Our Crazy Family
Two genderqueer lesbians and a tranny have a rebellious daughter who does the unthinkable and decides to marry a Christian.

About the Author
Joe Vasicek fell in love with science fiction and fantasy when he read The Neverending Story as a child. He is the author of more than twenty books, including Genesis Earth, Gunslinger to the Stars, The Sword Keeper, and the Sons of the Starfarers series. As a young man, he studied Arabic at Brigham Young University and traveled across the Middle East and the Caucasus Mountains. He lives in Utah with his wife, daughter, and two apple trees.
J.M. Wight is a pen name of Joe Vasicek, who writes science fiction and fantasy. As the faithful son of Utah pioneers, J.M. Wight blends science fiction with distinctly Mormon themes. Whether it's interplanetary colonization in the Millennium or the technological singularity rolling forth from the New Jerusalem, this is LDS science fiction like you've never read it before.

Information regarding the right of withdrawal
Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.
The withdrawal period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last good or the last lot or piece.
To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest.
You shall send back the goods or hand them over to California Books, Fort Wayne, Indiana, U.S.A., without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your withdrawal from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
Exceptions to the right of withdrawal
The right of withdrawal does not apply to:
- The delivery of newspapers, journals or magazines with the exception of subscription contracts; and
- The supply of digital content which is not supplied on a tangible medium (e.g. on a CD or DVD) if you accepted when you placed your order that we could start to deliver it, and that you could not withdraw once delivery had started.
