 Why are Arvid 6 and Tendal 13 attempting to steal Reggie?
Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Space Science Fiction May 1952. THE ULTROOM ERROR by JERRY SOHL Smith admitted he had made an error involving a few murders—and a few thousand years. Reginald, son of Mr. and Mrs. Martin Laughton, 3495 Orland Drive, Marionville, Illinois, U. S. A. Arrive his 378th day. It was her brother who lived in Kankakee. As he did so the baby's knees hit the side of the play pen and young Laughton let out a scream—half from hurt and half from sudden lack of confidence in his new handler. Around the corner and after the man came a snarling mongrel dog, eyes bright, teeth glinting in the sunlight. I can't say I dreamt it because there was Reggie with his bleeding knees, squalling for all he was worth on the grass—Oh, I don't even want to think about it." "We haven't lost Reggie, Nancy, remember that. They found Reggie peacefully asleep in his crib in his room upstairs. Nancy had taken a sedative and was asleep by the time Martin finished cleaning the .30-.30 rifle he used for deer hunting. He put it by the stairs, ready for use, fully loaded, leaning it against the wall next to the telephone stand. Martin went over to his desk, opened it and started looking for his checkbook. The figure of a woman ran from the house, retrieved the now squalling infant and ran back into the house.
