The Animated Pinup

This is a science fiction book. You're not expected to believe this story since it's the kind of thing that science calls impossible. But anyway, she happened. To make it clear how normal everything was when the evening started out, I'll let you in at the time Willy phoned me. I was in my apartment with a lady from down the hall….I had asked her what she liked and she'd purred',You'. I had asked her with soda or gingerale and she'd said',Straight', so I'd obliged and poured myself a triple too and sank into the sofa beside her.
