My usual short story recordings are pulled from P.G. Wodehouse’s treasure of humorous short stories. This one takes a sharp detour into a more serious genre.
It’s from Arthur C. Clarke. It was first published in July 1949 in Startling Stories and later in several books of collected stories, where I found it.
There are three segments and it ends on a very poignant note.
I hope you enjoy it.
