Once again, to my wife, Bette. I was very lucky when she married me.

He had been seven men.
Now he was one man.

The woman whose office he visited for an hour every day had told him that. Until then, he had not
known about it, though she claimed that he had once known. According to her, he still might know
and probably did. He had no doubt that she was wrong about that. No matter. If he wished to live,
he had to convince her that he knew nothing of it.
That was indeed strange. "I'll tell you what's so. Then you try to make me believe that it is so."
If he failed to convince the authorities, he would not be executed, though what would be done to
him would be almost as bad as being killed. Unless, and it was a very slim unless, somebody in the
far future decided to make him alive again.
The woman, the psychicist, was puzzled and intrigued. He suspected that her superiors were equally
mystified. While keeping them so, he might stay alive. Living, he could always hope to escape. He
knew, however, or thought he knew, that no one had ever escaped from this place.
