context: THE RECRUIT BY BRYCE WALTON [Transcriber's Note: This etext was produced from Worlds of If Science Fiction, July 1962. They were squareheads one and all, marking moron time in a gray dream. School over, waiting for the draft and all. You got to remember about all these dangerous repressed impulses piling up with nowhere to go, like they say. What do we know about adolescent trauma and like that? Blab-blab about the same old bones, and end up chewing them in the same old ways. Squareheads going around either unconscious or with eyes looking dead from the millennium in the office waiting to retire into limbo. So he'd waited in his room, and it wasn't easy sweating it out alone waiting for the breakout call from HQ. He strode under a sign reading Public Youth Center No. 947 and walked casually to the reception desk, where a thin man with sergeant's stripes and a pansy haircut looked out of a pile of paperwork. Draft call." Finally he said, "So make up your mind, bud. It's a big city and you're starting late. You can get a cat, not a mouse, and some babes are clever hellcats in a dark alley." "A corporal with no hair and still a counterboy. And throw in a Skelly switchblade for kicks—the six-inch disguised job with the double springs." He checked them on a receipt ledger, while Wayne examined the weapons, broke open the revolver, twirled the cylinder and pushed cartridges into the waiting chamber. He slipped the knife from the comb case, flicked open the blade and stared at its gleam in the buttery light as his mouth went dry and the refracted incandescence of it trickled on his brain like melted ice, exciting and scary. He slung the holster under his left armpit and tested the spring clip release several times, feeling the way the serrated butt dropped into his wet palm. His legs seemed sheathed in lead as he bit inwardly at shrinking fear the way a dog snaps at a wound.
