The Star Rover
Authorship not stated
Convicted of a murder you say you did not commit, and blamed for hiding dynamite you never touched, you are Professor Darrell Standing, laced into the canvas jacket Warden Atherton uses to make silence unbearable. Through the wall, a fellow prisoner named Ed Morrell taps out a way to leave the pain behind, not by fighting the straps, but by finding another self, centuries gone, aboard a ship breaking apart on a Korean cliff. The chapter ends between two dangers at once, with no way to answer both.
