Billed as the shortest horror story ever, this one was supposedly written by someone named Frank Brown back in the mid-twentieth century:


The last man on earth sat alone in his house. The phone rang.

    That was the late Frederic Brown, who wrote wonderful science fiction, much of which was quite short.

It's misquoted, but that's the first story that immediately came to my mind when I read the title.  I have a huge collection of Fredric Brown's stories in a volume called "From These Ashes."

    I used to have a copy of ANGELS AND SPACESHIPS, which had a lot of his short stories ; my favorite is "The Last Question".

If it's true what they say, that GOD created us in His image, then why should we not love creating, and why should we not continue to do so, as carefully and ethically as we can, on whatever scale we're capable of?

     The choice is simple; refuse to create, and refuse to grow, or build, with care and love.

As I awoke and my vision cleared, I discovered I was bound, naked, in a strange room. Before me stood Anne Ramsey, Bea Arthur, and Dennis Rodman, all nude, a look of undisguised lust in each of their eyes.
