Three weeks after the Russians put a man in orbit, the United States attempts to launch a man into space. Unlike the secrecy that surrounded the Soviet achievement, the U.S. endeavor is broadcast to the world. Hundreds of newsmen look on as the countdown begins at Cape Canaveral, and at 10.34 a huge rocket sends 37-year-old Commander Alan B. Shepard aloft in a Mercury capsule. It is a successful launch. Commander Shepard reports to ground control that everything is "A-OK". Remarkable pictures show him in the capsule as he takes over control of the Freedom 7 for a 15-minute flight, becoming the first man to pilot a space craft, and show the recovery of pilot and capsule by helicopters from the carrier Lake Champlain. Commander Shepard shows no ill-effects from the flight, arousing hopes that the U.S. may be able to orbit a man around the earth before the end of the year.

Time is running out for Silas and Mike, two men sitting at a bar as they have a conversation about life, death, and the indifference to it all. Silas, a handsome, charming, charismatic, intense psychopath, has just killed his wife and child, and wants someone to share his psychotic experience with. Mike, a cynical, low key, weary police detective, is just the guy Silas was looking for. By the end of that conversation Silas feels an incredible urge and sense of freedom he never thought possible, Mike feels an incomparable angst and a sense of mortal danger he knew was possible. The clock is ticking. This is a short story about indifference to suffering, and the indifference to the lack of empathy...Empathy that normal human beings feel when faced with human suffering...Empathy that can erode when one loses themselves in a world full of indifference.
