  Skin Game by Charles E. Fritch - Working on the theory that you can skin a sucker in space as well as on Earth, the con team of Harding and Sheckly operated furtively but profitably among natives of the outer planets. That is—until there was a question of turnabout being fair play in a world where natives took their skinning literally! 
  "People are basically alike," Harding said democratically. He sat idly against the strawlike matting of the hut wall and reached for a native fruit in a nearby bowl. "They're all suckers, even the smartest of them; in fact, the ones who think they're the smartest generally wind up to be the dumbest." Carefully, he bit into the fruit which resembled an orange and, mouth full, nodded approvingly. "Say, these aren't bad. Try one." 
  Sheckly shook his head, determined to avoid as many aspects of this culture as he could. "But these aren't people," he reminded, not happy with the thought. "They're lizards." 
  Harding shrugged and settled back, his grinning features ruddy in the flaring torchlight. "Humanoids have no monopoly on suckerhood. When it comes to that, we're all brothers under the skin, no matter what color or how hard the skin may be." He sighed, contemplating the harvest-to-be. "No, Sheckly, it'll be like taking candy from a baby. We'll be out of here with our pockets bulging before the Space Patrol can bat an eyelash in this direction." 
  Unconvinced, Sheckly stared glumly through the open doorway of the hut into the warm humid night, where a fire flared in the darkness and long shadows danced and slithered around it. 
  "It's not the Space Patrol I'm worried about," he said, after a while. "I don't mind fleecing humanoids—" he shivered, grimacing—"but lizards!"

  Morgue Ship by RAY BRADBURY - This was Burnett's last trip. Three more shelves to fill with space-slain warriors—and he would be among the living again. 
  He heard the star-port grind open, and the movement of the metal claws groping into space, and then the star-port closed. 
  There was another dead man aboard the Constellation. 
  Sam Burnett shook his long head, trying to think clearly. Pallid and quiet, three bodies lay on the cold transparent tables around him; machines stirred, revolved, hummed. He didn't see them. He didn't see anything but a red haze over his mind. It blotted out the far wall of the laboratory where the shelves went up and down, numbered in scarlet, keeping the bodies of soldiers from all further harm. 
  Burnett didn't move. He stood there in his rumpled white surgical gown, staring at his fingers gloved in bone-white rubber; feeling all tight and wild inside himself. It went on for days. Moving the ship. Opening the star-port. Extending the retriever claw. Plucking some poor warrior's body out of the void. 
  He didn't like it any more. Ten years is too long to go back and forth from Earth to nowhere. You came out empty and you went back full-cargoed with a lot of warriors who didn't laugh or talk or smoke, who just lay on their shelves, all one hundred of them, waiting for a decent burial. 
  "Number ninety-eight." Coming matter of fact and slow, Rice's voice from the ceiling radio hit Burnett. 
  "Number ninety-eight," Burnett repeated. "Working on ninety-five, ninety-six and ninety-seven now. Blood-pumps, preservative, slight surgery." Off a million miles away his voice was talking. It sounded deep. It didn't belong to him anymore.

  An Obsession. A Red Dress. A Mystery That Unravels the Mind. 
  From his window, he watches her every day. The beautiful woman in the red dress. Always the same red dress. Always leaving at exactly 8:00, only to return moments later, repeating the routine like a haunting ritual. 
  For three years, her strange behavior has consumed his thoughts, drawing him deeper into an obsession he can’t explain. Why does she keep returning? Why does she wear the same red dress every day? 
  His curiosity turns to desperation, and in a moment of reckless curiosity, he sends his drone into her apartment. What he sees shatters his reality. A room too perfect, too symmetrical—almost inhuman. A row of identical red dresses hanging in unnerving precision. An immaculate apartment where nothing is out of place, yet everything feels wrong. 
  Then his drone crashes. And his life changes forever. 
  As his paranoia grows, so does the mystery. Who is the woman beyond his window? Why does her world feel like an illusion? And who is truly watching whom? 
  The Woman Beyond My Window is a psychological thriller that explores the thin line between obsession and madness, perception and reality. A haunting tale that will leave you questioning everything, including your own reflection. 
  Perfect for fans of psychological suspense and mind-bending mysteries. 
  Are you ready to look beyond the window?
