  Potential by Robert Sheckley - He was one man, horribly confused, escaping from a destroyed planet, carrying some sort of message which he couldn't recall. But he had tremendous potential for achievement!  
  Robert Sheckley (1928–2005) was a prolific American science fiction writer renowned for his sharp wit, satirical style, and imaginative storytelling. Emerging as a major voice in the 1950s, Sheckley became a fixture in magazines like Galaxy and Amazing Stories, captivating readers with tales that often blurred the line between absurdity and philosophical insight. His work frequently explored the quirks of human nature, the unpredictability of technology, and the ironic consequences of alien encounters, often through fast-paced plots and cleverly twisted logic. 
  A master of the short story, Sheckley penned classics such as “The Seventh Victim”, which inspired the 1965 cult film The 10th Victim, and “Watchbird”, a prescient tale about autonomous drones enforcing morality. His ability to satirize bureaucracy, consumerism, and Cold War anxieties drew comparisons to contemporaries like Kurt Vonnegut and Philip K. Dick. Despite often being categorized as humorous or light, his stories packed a philosophical punch, exploring themes of identity, free will, and societal control. 
  Sheckley also wrote novels, including Mindswap, Dimension of Miracles, and The Status Civilization, which showcased his trademark blend of existential inquiry and surreal comedy. His influence extended beyond literature, inspiring filmmakers, futurists, and generations of speculative writers. Endlessly inventive and sharply perceptive, Robert Sheckley remains one of science fiction’s most original and underappreciated voices.

  Small Town by Philip K. Dick - The theme of "the man who played God" has been used many ways in many stories, but never with more tense and chilling effect than in this tight little yarn by the very able Mr. Dick. You'll like it, we're sure. 
  Verne Haskel crept miserably up the front steps of his house, his overcoat dragging behind him. He was tired. Tired and discour­aged. And his feet ached. "My God," Madge exclaim­ed, as he closed the door and peeled off his coat and hat. "You home already?" 
  Haskel dumped his briefcase and began untying his shoes. His body sagged. His face was drawn and gray. 
  "Say something!"  
  "Dinner ready?" 
  "No, dinner isn't ready. What's wrong this time? Another fight with Larson?" 
  Haskel stumped into the kitchen and filled a glass with warm water and soda. "Let's move," he said. 
  "Move?" 
  "Away from Woodland. To San Francisco. Anywhere." Haskel drank his soda, his middle-aged flabby body sup­ported by the gleaming sink. "I feel lousy. Maybe I ought to see Doc Barnes again. I wish this was Friday and to­morrow was Saturday." 
  "What do you want for dinner?" 
  "Nothing. I don't know."
