Pipe Dream
Fritz Leiber
Simon Grue found a two-inch mermaid in his bathtub. It had arms, hips, a finny tail, and (here the real trouble began) a face that reminded him irresistibly of the girl next door. Simon at first thought his roommate had been smoking some strange stuff in that bubble pipe of his and the fumes was causing the odd delusion. But when he saw another and the tiny thing flopped out onto the floor gasping for breath, it was then that Simon Grue seriously began to wonder what the Russians were doing on the roof next door. From this start, the story just gets weirder and more fun. A great listen but be warned, your mind will still be a bit dizzy when it is finished.
