History
First publication: The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction, April 1959
Review
This is a really good short story that is a lot like a Twilight Zone episode. Without spoiling the surprise, it has to do with the line between genius and insanity. Once again Pohl pulls off a lot of character for such a short story.
