History
First publication: Fantastic, October 1956
Review
A fun story. Another Twilight Zone style story from the fifties. That seems to be the primary style of short story—at least in the SF and Fantasy genres. This one is science fiction. The story isn’t great and relies on stock charater types, but is is funny and is fun to read.
