Decoy

Decoy

by John Christopher (Science Fiction Stories, July 1955)

Magazine cover: Science Fiction Stories, July 1955

Not much of a (short) story. Christopher’s world-building hints at a complex near-future society worthy of greater exploration, but the characters are presented as if the reader should already be familiar with them. The result is an untethered, over-simple tale of matchmaking.
