DICK</p> + </div> + <div id="story"> + <p class="first_paragraph"><span class="first_word">It was</span> quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of + Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven’t done anything + about it; I can’t think of anything to do. I wrote to the + Government, and they sent back a pamphlet on the repair and maintenance + of frame houses. Anyhow, the whole thing is known; I’m not + the first to discover it. Maybe it’s even under control.</p> + + <p>I was sitting in my easy-chair, idly turning the pages of a paperbacked + book someone had left on the bus, when I came across the reference that + first put me on the trail. For a moment I didn’t respond. It took some + time for the full import to sink in. After I’d comprehended, it seemed + odd I hadn’t noticed it right away.</p> + + <p>The reference was clearly to a nonhuman species of incredible properties, + not indigenous to Earth. A species, I hasten to point out, customarily + masquerading as ordinary human beings. Their disguise, however, + became transparent in the face of the following observations by the + author. It was at once obvious the author knew everything. Knew + everything — and was taking it in his stride. The line (and I tremble + remembering it even now) read:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… his eyes slowly roved about the room.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Vague chills assailed me. I tried to picture the eyes. Did they roll + like dimes? The passage indicated not; they seemed to move through + the air, not over the surface. Rather rapidly, apparently. No one in the + story was surprised. That’s what tipped me off. No sign of amazement + at such an outrageous thing. Later the matter was amplified.</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… his eyes moved from person to person.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>There it was in a nutshell. The eyes had clearly come apart from + the rest of him and were on their own. My heart pounded and my + breath choked in my windpipe. I had stumbled on an accidental mention + <a class="pagenum" id="page129" title="129"> </a>of a totally unfamiliar race. Obviously non-Terrestrial. Yet, to the + characters in the book, it was perfectly natural — which suggested they + belonged to the same species.</p> + + <p>And the author? A slow suspicion burned in my mind. The author + was taking it rather <em>too easily</em> in his stride. Evidently, he felt this was + quite a usual thing. He made absolutely no attempt to conceal this + knowledge. The story continued:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… presently his eyes fastened on Julia.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Julia, being a lady, had at least the breeding to feel indignant. She + is described as blushing and knitting her brows angrily. At this, I sighed + with relief. They weren’t <em>all</em> non-Terrestrials. The narrative continues:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… slowly, calmly, his eyes examined every inch of her.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Great Scott! But here the girl turned and stomped off and the matter + ended. I lay back in my chair gasping with horror. My wife and family + regarded me in wonder.</p> + + <p>“What’s wrong, dear?” my wife asked.</p> + + <p>I couldn’t tell her. Knowledge like this was too much for the ordinary + run-of-the-mill person. I had to keep it to myself. “Nothing,” I gasped. + I leaped up, snatched the book, and hurried out of the room.</p> + + <hr class="thoughtbreak" /> + + <p class="post_thoughtbreak"><span class="first_word">In the</span> garage, I continued reading. There was more. Trembling, I + read the next revealing passage:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… he put his arm around Julia. Presently she asked him if + he would remove his arm. He immediately did so, with a + smile.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>It’s not said what was done with the arm after the fellow had removed + it. Maybe it was left standing upright in the corner. Maybe it + was thrown away. I don’t care. In any case, the full meaning was there, + staring me right in the face.</p> + + <p>Here was a race of creatures capable of removing portions of their + anatomy at will. Eyes, arms — and maybe more. Without batting an eyelash. + My knowledge of biology came in handy, at this point. Obviously + they were simple beings, uni-cellular, some sort of primitive single-celled + things. Beings no more developed than starfish. Starfish can do + the same thing, you know.</p> + + <p>I read on. And came to this incredible revelation, tossed off coolly by + the author without the faintest tremor:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… outside the movie theater we split up. Part of us went + inside, part over to the cafe for dinner.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Binary fission, obviously. Splitting in half and forming two entities. + <a class="pagenum" id="page130" title="130"> </a>Probably each lower half went to the cafe, it being farther, and the + upper halves to the movies. I read on, hands shaking. I had really stumbled + onto something here. My mind reeled as I made out this passage:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… I’m afraid there’s no doubt about it. Poor Bibney has lost + his head again.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Which was followed by:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… and Bob says he has utterly no guts.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Yet Bibney got around as well as the next person. The next person, + however, was just as strange. He was soon described as:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… totally lacking in brains.</p> + </blockquote> + + <hr class="thoughtbreak" /> + + <p class="post_thoughtbreak"><span class="first_word">There</span> was no doubt of the thing in the next passage. Julia, whom I + had thought to be the one normal person, reveals herself as also + being an alien life form, similar to the rest:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… quite deliberately, Julia had given her heart to the young + man.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>It didn’t relate what the final disposition of the organ was, but I didn’t + really care. It was evident Julia had gone right on living in her usual + manner, like all the others in the book. Without heart, arms, eyes, brains, + viscera, dividing up in two when the occasion demanded. Without a + qualm.</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… thereupon she gave him her hand.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>I sickened. The rascal now had her hand, as well as her heart. I shudder + to think what he’s done with them, by this time.</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… he took her arm.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>Not content to wait, he had to start dismantling her on his own. Flushing + crimson, I slammed the book shut and leaped to my feet. But not + in time to escape one last reference to those carefree bits of anatomy + whose travels had originally thrown me on the track:</p> + + <blockquote class="quotation"> + <p>… her eyes followed him all the way down the road and + across the meadow.</p> + </blockquote> + + <p>I rushed from the garage and back inside the warm house, as if the + accursed things were following me. My wife and children were playing + Monopoly in the kitchen. I joined them and played with frantic fervor, + brow feverish, teeth chattering.</p> + + <p>I had had enough of the thing. I want to hear no more about it. Let + them come on. Let them invade Earth. I don’t want to get mixed up + in it.</p> + + <p>I have absolutely no stomach for it.</p> + </div> + <div id="the_end"> </div> + + + + + + + +<pre> + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Eyes Have It, by Philip Kindred Dick + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE EYES HAVE IT *** + +***** This file should be named 31516-h.htm or 31516-h.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/1/5/1/31516/ + +Produced by Greg Weeks, Barbara Tozier and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.

DICK + + +It was quite by accident I discovered this incredible invasion of +Earth by lifeforms from another planet. As yet, I haven't done +anything about it; I can't think of anything to do. I wrote to the +Government, and they sent back a pamphlet on the repair and +maintenance of frame houses. Anyhow, the whole thing is known; I'm not +the first to discover it. Maybe it's even under control. + +I was sitting in my easy-chair, idly turning the pages of a +paperbacked book someone had left on the bus, when I came across the +reference that first put me on the trail. For a moment I didn't +respond. It took some time for the full import to sink in. After I'd +comprehended, it seemed odd I hadn't noticed it right away. + +The reference was clearly to a nonhuman species of incredible +properties, not indigenous to Earth. A species, I hasten to point out, +customarily masquerading as ordinary human beings. Their disguise, +however, became transparent in the face of the following observations +by the author. It was at once obvious the author knew everything. Knew +everything--and was taking it in his stride. The line (and I tremble +remembering it even now) read: + + _... his eyes slowly roved about the room._ + +Vague chills assailed me. I tried to picture the eyes. Did they roll +like dimes? The passage indicated not; they seemed to move through the +air, not over the surface. Rather rapidly, apparently. No one in the +story was surprised. That's what tipped me off. No sign of amazement +at such an outrageous thing. Later the matter was amplified. + + _... his eyes moved from person to person._ + +There it was in a nutshell. The eyes had clearly come apart from the +rest of him and were on their own. My heart pounded and my breath +choked in my windpipe. I had stumbled on an accidental mention of a +totally unfamiliar race. Obviously non-Terrestrial. Yet, to the +characters in the book, it was perfectly natural--which suggested they +belonged to the same species. + +And the author? A slow suspicion burned in my mind. The author was +taking it rather _too easily_ in his stride. Evidently, he felt this +was quite a usual thing. He made absolutely no attempt to conceal this +knowledge. The story continued: + + _... presently his eyes fastened on Julia._ + +Julia, being a lady, had at least the breeding to feel indignant. She +is described as blushing and knitting her brows angrily. At this, I +sighed with relief. They weren't _all_ non-Terrestrials. The narrative +continues: + + _... slowly, calmly, his eyes examined every inch of her._ + +Great Scott! But here the girl turned and stomped off and the matter +ended. I lay back in my chair gasping with horror. My wife and family +regarded me in wonder. + +"What's wrong, dear?" my wife asked. + +I couldn't tell her. Knowledge like this was too much for the ordinary +run-of-the-mill person. I had to keep it to myself. "Nothing," I +gasped. I leaped up, snatched the book, and hurried out of the room. + + * * * * * + +In the garage, I continued reading. There was more. Trembling, I read +the next revealing passage: + + _... he put his arm around Julia. Presently she asked him if + he would remove his arm. He immediately did so, with a smile._ + +It's not said what was done with the arm after the fellow had removed +it. Maybe it was left standing upright in the corner. Maybe it was +thrown away. I don't care. In any case, the full meaning was there, +staring me right in the face. + +Here was a race of creatures capable of removing portions of their +anatomy at will. Eyes, arms--and maybe more. Without batting an +eyelash. My knowledge of biology came in handy, at this point. +Obviously they were simple beings, uni-cellular, some sort of +primitive single-celled things. Beings no more developed than +starfish. Starfish can do the same thing, you know. + +I read on. And came to this incredible revelation, tossed off coolly +by the author without the faintest tremor: + + _... outside the movie theater we split up. Part of us went + inside, part over to the cafe for dinner._ + +Binary fission, obviously. Splitting in half and forming two entities. +Probably each lower half went to the cafe, it being farther, and the +upper halves to the movies. I read on, hands shaking. I had really +stumbled onto something here. My mind reeled as I made out this +passage: + + _... I'm afraid there's no doubt about it. Poor Bibney has + lost his head again._ + +Which was followed by: + + _... and Bob says he has utterly no guts._ + +Yet Bibney got around as well as the next person. The next person, +however, was just as strange. He was soon described as: + + _... totally lacking in brains._ + + * * * * * + +There was no doubt of the thing in the next passage. Julia, whom I had +thought to be the one normal person, reveals herself as also being an +alien life form, similar to the rest: + + _... quite deliberately, Julia had given her heart to the + young man._ + +It didn't relate what the final disposition of the organ was, but I +didn't really care. It was evident Julia had gone right on living in +her usual manner, like all the others in the book. Without heart, +arms, eyes, brains, viscera, dividing up in two when the occasion +demanded. Without a qualm. + + _... thereupon she gave him her hand._ + +I sickened. The rascal now had her hand, as well as her heart. I +shudder to think what he's done with them, by this time. + + _... he took her arm._ + +Not content to wait, he had to start dismantling her on his own. +Flushing crimson, I slammed the book shut and leaped to my feet. But +not in time to escape one last reference to those carefree bits of +anatomy whose travels had originally thrown me on the track: + + _... her eyes followed him all the way down the road and + across the meadow._ + +I rushed from the garage and back inside the warm house, as if the +accursed things were following me. My wife and children were playing +Monopoly in the kitchen. I joined them and played with frantic fervor, +brow feverish, teeth chattering. + +I had had enough of the thing. I want to hear no more about it. Let +them come on. Let them invade Earth. I don't want to get mixed up in +it. + +I have absolutely no stomach for it. + + + + + +End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of The Eyes Have It, by Philip Kindred Dick + +*** END OF THIS PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK THE EYES HAVE IT *** + +***** This file should be named 31516.txt or 31516.zip ***** +This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: + https://www.gutenberg.org/3/1/5/1/31516/ + +Produced by Greg Weeks, Barbara Tozier and the Online +Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net + + +Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions +will be renamed. + +Creating the works from public domain print editions means that no +one owns a United States copyright in these works, so the Foundation +(and you!) can copy and distribute it in the United States without +permission and without paying copyright royalties.
