  Stop You're Killing Me!

  Stop, You're Killing Me! by Darius John Granger - As a private eye I get a lot of screwballcases, but nothing to match my own; my wife and kid trying to kill me—and neither aware of it! 
  It's funny how a silly little habit can save your life. 
  I got into the car that morning and was thinking of nothing in particular—except maybe the cases I hoped to be getting downtown in my one man private dick office. We live at the top of the city's highest hill, my wife and our son Sam, who's seventeen, and myself. At least it's the highest hill in the residential district and the highest one I know of. So out of habit I patted the brakes to test them as the car began to roll down the slight incline of the driveway. 
  The brakes didn't hold. 
  Had I started down Jackson Hill, down the long half mile slope which levels off at the busy intersection of MacArthur and Houston Avenues, I'd have streaked through the intersection out of control. I don't know what the odds for survival are in such a circumstance, but I'd hate to have to test them. 
  As it was, I shook my head in surprise and pulled the handbrake, bringing the Olds to a stop at the foot of the driveway. I climbed out and bent down to take a look at the right front wheel. In a few seconds I knew what the trouble was. Brake fluid. There wasn't any. But that didn't make sense because I'd had the car—brakes included—overhauled only last week. 
  Which meant someone had drained the brake fluid from the Olds. 
  I checked the other front wheel and it was the same. No brake fluid. I sat there in the car for a few minutes smoking a cigarette before I went into the house to call the local service station and have them tow the Olds in. 
  It was the third time in less than a month that someone had tried to kill me.

  A pandemic in the 21st century creates a technical elite class which shuns physical contact and depends on virtual reality for all social interactions. Duke Landon is among the top echelon of the Royal World Commonwealth and poised for success. His life is a privileged orchestra of politics, finance, and leisure pursuits which rarely intersect with the framework of boring reality. The elite rule the world and rarely bother with the primitive humans who eke out a minimal existence in the hot, violent climate that has reclaimed the earth. 
    
  While on a rare visit to the tribes, Landon meets a young tribal leader named Rachel and finds he needs her help. Although Landon's ultra-modern, germ-phobic culture is at odds with the ancient tribal customs, he learns to appreciate the real world and sees things from an entirely new perspective. Will Landon's feelings for Rachel betray his people or will he find a balance between two opposing cultures? Forces within the Technocracy threaten to destroy everything he has come to love and the sacrifice required may be more than he has to give.

  Cry Silence by Fredric Brown - Would you try to save your wife from a killer? Seems like a. simple question, but to Mandy's husband, it was one to stump the experts. 
  It was the old silly argument about sound. If a tree falls deep in the forest where there is no ear to hear, is its fall silent? Is there sound where there is no ear to hear it? I've heard it argued by college professors and by street sweepers. 
  This time it was being argued by the agent at the little railroad station and a beefy man in coveralls. It was a warm summer evening at dusk, and the station agent's window opening onto the back platform of the station was open; his elbows rested on the ledge of it.
