Hi all.
A few years ago I read some of a book and can't remember what it was. Hoping that the wisdom of the masses might help me.
It was a collection of short stories by a SF author I usually associate with novels and I can only remember two of the stories in it.
One was about a soft drink whose flavour could be altered by the way the top of the can was twisted prior to opening.
The other was about a ritual, the kind with chanting in Latin and body movements, which when completed, quietly and peacefully killed you.
I was reading it at a party to avoid interacting with strangers. Now I need the help of strangers to finish the book. Typical.
Thanks for the attention,
Spike
