The Women draws on ancient mythology and how it interacts with two present-day people. This is the story of the ancient sirens, who call persistently a man they desire, and how his wife tries to keep him from the sea. Inevitably, she fails, and his body floats back to his wife. The story is poetically written from both the perspective of the sirens and the wife.

Downwind from Gettysburg is a sci-fi twist on Lincoln's assassination.

The Kilimanjaro Device is a story about time travel, regret, and one lucky old man.

Tomorrow's Child, in which a woman gives birth to a small blue pyramid.


I Sing the Body Electric is also a 1972 album by the music group Weather Report.
I Sing the Body Electric is also a song in the movie Fame (1980).
