Ed Loyce lives a happy and normal life is a happy and normal small town in mid America. But today something strange happens. In the late evening, on his way to work at his TV sales and repair shop he passes the tiny one block park in the middle of town and sees something hanging from the only lamp post, something big, almost like a body. Of course it must be something else, probably an ad of some sort or a joke. Not able to discern exactly what it is in the dusk, he parks and walks toward it. It is a body, a human body, a very dead human body of someone he has never seen before. But no one else in town seems to notice it at all. The strangeness and horror grow and expand as he slowly understands why this body was put there.

Author
Author Bio: Philip K. Dick
Philip K. Dick (1928–1982) published thirty-six science fiction novels and 121 short stories in which he explored the essence of what makes man human and the dangers of centralized power. Toward the end of his life, his work turned toward deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God. Eleven novels and short stories have been adapted to film, notably Blade Runner (based on Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?), Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly. The recipient of critical acclaim and numerous awards throughout his career, Dick was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005, and in 2007 the Library of America published a selection of his novels in three volumes. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
