      My wife, Gin, once knocked gently on my head, as if it were a door. “Hello,” she kept saying. “Hello. Who’s in there?” She and our therapist, Dr. Sherby, laughed a little about this, so I did, too. What fun. Keep knocking on my head like that, like i

      FAIR and WARMER

      By E. G. von Wald

      Illustrated by Paul Orban

      Tensor's melancholia threatened to disturb the entire citizenry, and that was most uncivil! So—if these peculiar aliens caused him this distress, by provoking his intellectual curiosity, the remedy was for him to investigate them to his complete satisfaction.... Thus, in this manner, did Tensor get well—and did he learn a bit too....

      Tensor gazed helplessly at the fine mist sifting down from a hazy, violet sky. I told you I was having these spells.

      But Great Oxy, the administrator sputtered, can't you control yourself?

      I can't help it, Ruut, Tensor replied. I just feel sort of funny and—and—

      Ruut's hyperimage was chewing on its illusory lip. Well, you've got to stop it. Do you understand? There'll be a lot of lichens and things growing all over the Prime's beautiful landscapes if this keeps up.

      The administrator's concern amused Tensor and, as his mood lightened, the drizzle abated and the sky became clear again.

      I'm sorry, he apologized sincerely. But I just seem to be having trouble lately. Ever since the aliens came.

      Oh, come now, son, Ruut chortled with assumed heartiness. That's elementary somatics. Just get a grip on yourself.

      Yes sir.

      Perhaps you've been working, or exerting yourself in some other foolish way. Maybe you're tired and should take something.

      The long, scrawny citizen gazed disconsolately at the beautitful violet sky, his face relaxed and soleful. He sighed and murmured, Frankly, Ruut, I just don't seem to give a damn anymore.

      On the other side of the planet, Ruut gulped convulsively. His eyes bulged out with thoroughly uncivilized amazement.

      Get out of consciousness immediately, he ordered hoarsely. Take a nego shot, if necessary. Take one anyway. We can't take chances. The administrator's hyperimage, with calculated angry expression, glared sternly into Tensor's mind. Did you understand me?

      Yes sir, Tensor murmured. A vague unpleasantness began stirring in his stomach as he contemplated
