Heh, what took you so long?
Many thanks, I never would have guessed it was Tenn.
Here’s a PDF, if anyone wants to read it:
Thanks again.
Edit: I deleted the URL, since looking around that website, it appears to not be very scrupulous about copyright. But I found it with the most obvious google search, so it’s up to you.
Yeah, isfdb.org is a very useful resource.
No problem. I missed seeing this response somehow till now, but I’m glad I found your story. William Tenn was one of the greats.
Doubtful, unless the story is being misremembered. The vampire in The Night Flier doesn’t steal identities.
Agreed. It’s not that story.
I asked about this one to no avail:
A guy with telekinetic powers goes to the president (?) and threatens to use them if his demands aren’t met. As he’s leaving the office, a guy on the other side of the door kills him with a head blow from a hammer.
That’s kinda sorta similar to a Joe Haldeman story about a scientist on the Moon who goes a little crazy when he’s fitted with cyborg limbs. No telekinesis and no President in it, though: More Than the Sum of His Parts - Lightspeed Magazine
