History
First publication: The Overland Monthly, October 1910
Review
This is very short, no more than flash fiction. Smith’s mature writing style has not yet developed. The writing is good enough. The story is pretty slim. Interesting, but would be better if given more detail. Not a fantasy. Only of interest to the Smith completist.
