I felt
the wall of the tunnel shiver. The master alarm squealed through my earphones.
Almost simultaneously, Jack yelled down to me that there was a warning light
on. Fleeting but spectacular sights snapped into and out of view, the snow, the
shower of debris, the moon, looming close and big, the dazzling sunshine for
once unfiltered by layers of air. The last twelve hours before re-entry were

Passage

Harold a
professional man who had worked in an office for many years had a fearful
dream. In it, he found himself in a land where small slug-like animals with
slimy tentacles lived on people's bodies. The people tolerated the loathsome
creatures because after many years they grew into elephants which then became
the nation's system of transport, carrying everyone wherever he wanted to go.
Harold suddenly realised that he himself was covered with these things, and he
woke up screaming. In a vivid sequence of pictures this dream dramatised for
Harold what he had never been able to put in to words; he saw himself as
letting society feed on his body in his early years so that it would carry him
when he retired. He later threw off the "security bug" and took up
