Look Before You LeapHow do you make someone understand something when you don't even understand it? Which buttons should you push? Jeremy Masters, Airman Basic, discovers a talent he never knew he had. Colonel Brice has to figure out how to teach Jeremy how to do it again, without even knowing what it is.And Then He Went AwayGamble Two, android from the 25th century, is sure he has found a fugitive from his time hiding out in the 20th century. He's wrong, of course. And his error will be his undoing.Two examples of early Donald Westlake science fiction shorts. For Westlake, science fiction was a prop, set dressing necessary to tell a particular kind of story. Westlake generally didn't dwell on futuristic technology or fantastical gadgets. He told good stories that just so happened to work best in a science fiction setting sometimes.
