The Skull (short story) by Philip K. Dick Conger agreed to kill a stranger he had never seen. But he would make no mistakes because he had the stranger's skull under his arm. Published 1952 ~ If Science Fiction
another great story by 1950's sci fi legend Phillip k dick , brings back fond memories of my youth , I learned English by reading galaxy magazine after school when I 1st immigrated from Libya , these writings are taboo & will get people killed in the Islamic world so it was a real treat to get a new magazine every month here in USA , don't allow these anarchist kids to bash your great country , america stands alone as the country that's done the most for the world , and people of all races , even an African Libyan like myself who was lynched in Libya everyday .
Kind of a cool one! Definitely still echoes as a scifi plot throughout the years. Love the narration! We need a film noir story by the same guy. Rest in peace.
Something about this one (not just its obscurity) is so perfect to me... The simplicity, coupled with my image of Conger as a bit of a brutalist nothing, going so organically from anti-hero to hero... PKD was every bit as good as Stephen King if you ask me
great story...you critics try reading it better then play it back to yourself and cringe....too many unthankful people that expect everything to be easy....go out and achieve something.
only about 10 mins in but i have the strongest feeling that the protagonist turns out to be the leader of the cult after getting sent back in time? probs
