    About this ebook

    Rob Vagle depicts world ends in fantastic and noir tones in these apocalyptic and post-apocalyptic tales.

    From strange and random pulses of light, human hearts transform into black birds.

    To another end: like the flick of a light switch, daylight falls into darkness.

    And in yet another: the formal, functioning world haunts one post-apocalyptic community.

    Five stories presented here not only answer the question, "How does the world end?" but also explores the end with wonder.
