Cute!
Funny little book! Only 16 pages. :)
Is this it?
The story was really drawing me in and then it just ended. I didn't realize it was THAT short of a story. Interesting though.
The Eyes Have It
Philip K. Dick uses the narrator's misunderstanding of idioms to describe the horror with which most science fiction might read a run of the mill romance novel. It's a quick read with lots of humor.
