Antony, in the genre(s) science fiction

The Skull is a science fiction short story written by Philip K Dick and first published in 1952.

The Skull is one of the very first short stories written by Philip K Dick and is true to his mind bending form that he became so loved for. The story follows a hitman who agrees to kill a stranger who he has never met, and one who he cradles the skull of under his arm. A great short story and Philip K Dick is one fine form.

A long time ago a bunch of people reached a general consensus as to what’s real and what’s not and most of us have been going along with it ever since
