Synopsis
I never felt sillier in my life. For two seconds I was the original sitting duck. Somebody potted the duck. I went into freeze.
Freeze is supposed to be an entirely new state for the human body--something that never existed before the paralysis beam. But it feels exactly like being knocked cold.
You even wake up with a headache. This, they tell me, is due to the distortion effect fo the radiative field. It is just like the ache you get when you're been knocked cold, except that it has no specific place to be.
It aches all over. No worse than a bad hangover, and I thought I could be courageous about ti an dopen my eyes.
For one thing, I wanted to see what I was fastened to.
Surprise, surprise: It turned out to be an electric chair.
...from "The Wheelbarrow Thief," just one of the sevel stories you'll find in this rollicking collection staring everyone's ultimate survivor...
