    About this ebook

    Famous and Classic Science Fiction Novel

    Nirva was a real bore. The food was
    always great, the climate tediously
    fine, the view monotonously lovely,
    the girls relentlessly amiable.
    But, oddly, everybody went there!

      OUT OF MIND

      By WILLIAM W. STUART

      Nirva was a real bore. The food was

      always great, the climate tediously

      fine, the view monotonously lovely,

      the girls relentlessly amiable.

      But, oddly, everybody went there!

      Worlds of If Science Fiction, May 1961.

      Vacation trip to Nirva?!? snapped Secad Screed—Galactic Sector Administrator J. Gomer Screed, a serious-minded man who rarely lost his temper. That was a pity; it was a lousy temper. A mindless excursion, and completely outside my Sector at that! Woman, are both you and Garten out of your minds? Who do you think is going to run my administration with both Garten and I on a childish vacation to this absurd 'Dream Planet' of yours?

      Well—there is Deputy Assistant Prinot and—

      Ha! And then what do you suppose would be left of my record here and my prospects of promotion—after Depast Prinot and the others put in five solid weeks wrecking all my work?

      Secast Garten, short, a little chubby, the opposite of his chief (who looked like a deep-thinking, bald stork scheduled for delivery of Siamese quintuplets in a typhoon,) grinned. He was seated out of the direct line of verbal fire, on a rock-hard hassock at one side of the barely furnished Screed apartment. He grinned, knowing what Secad Screed would do with a similar opportunity at Division Hq.

      Oh, now, dear, soothed Mrs. Screed, a mousey, chronically anxious little woman with five years experience as secretary and ten as wife in learning to soothe her husband. Prinot is such a nice man. Don't worry so about things. Just put them out of your mind; they'll be all right.

      What? Fifteen years experience she had soothing him, but she never did seem to get the knack of it. Or, perhaps, it was a matter of Screed's conscientiously refusing to be soothed, as a matter of discipline.
