Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz (for Kindle)

This short story first appeared in the January, 1999, issue of Asimov’s Science Fiction Magazine. “The tale that really stood out for me though was ‘Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz’, a haunting yet compelling (and strangely logical) tale of Alzheimer’s, cryonic storage and the protecting of Yurek Rutz’s immortal soul. Having finished the tale of Yurek Rutz I was left in awe of how well everything fitted together and I found myself hoping that it all turned out well for Yurek Rutz. Once you finish the tale you’ll understand why I’ve mentioned Yurek Rutz’ name more than once, you may even end up slipping it into conversation yourself :o) The fact that a Yurek Rutz pops up again in the next story surely cannot be coincidence.” —Graeme’s Fantasy Book Review "Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz, Yurek Rutz" is an outright funny story of a quest for immortality through a catchy jingle and a hole in the Alaskan permafrost. It's also a tale of the quirky inhabitants of the author's home in Fairbanks. —Denver Post
