共 36 题- ATTRITION
- By JIM WANNAMAKER
- Illustrated by Krenkel
- I retrieved my kit and looked for an unoccupied cubicle.
- I removed the ear bead and grinned at him.
- I gave him the background.
- I figured there was no sense prolonging the agony.
- Moya scowled. "Probably a wild goose chase anyway."
- I showed up in Astrogation in a full-pressure suit, carrying the helmet.
- I figured they could edit Moya's comment.
- I plucked a scrap of verse out of my mind:
- I wondered how prophetic that was going to be.
- I could see neither of the star ships.
- I sat down and waited.
- I waited for three long hours.
- I was tired, dirty, thirsty, hungry, and thoroughly frustrated.
- I paused and looked. There was no swelling, no other discoloration.
- I heard a raspy voice from the hilltop.
- I heard Moya panting down the brow of the hill.
- I put my face up to it.
- I lay back and let him talk.
- I sat up again.
- I tried to jackknife off the table.
- Moya growled: "There's a time for stubbornness."

- Assume the plastic was protection enough--
- No insect had hit me forcibly before--
- Moya and his helper had noticed nothing after--
- I started where I'd found the largest collection of remains.
- I felt supremely foolish--for a while.
- I couldn't place the difference.
- I had this sudden, strong feeling.
- I ran.
- I began to draw concentric arcs on the chart.
- THE END
