fallas:
The Beast turned back to me. I could look at him fairly steadily this
time. After a moment he said harshly, "I am very ugly, am I not?"
"You are certainly, uh, very hairy," I said.
"You are being polite."
"Well, yes," I conceded. "But then you called me beautiful last night."
He made a noise somewhere between a roar and and a bark, and after an anxious
moment I decided it was probably a laugh. "You do not believe me, then?" he
inquired.
"Well-no," I said hesitantly, wondering if this might anger him. "Any
number of mirrors have told me otherwise."
"You will find no mirrors here," he said, "for I cannot bear them, nor
will you find any quiet water in ponds. And since I am the only one who sees
you, why are you not then beautiful?"
I turned away, unable to think of an answer.
"Beauty--" His voice was hard, abrupt.
Oh no, not again.
"Will you marry me?"
"Beast, Beast," I said quietly, "why do you persist in asking me the
same question every night? I care for you very much, but I do not love you.
It pains me greatly to be forced to refuse you again and again."
"I cannot help asking," he said, and there was an undertone to his
voice that frightened and saddened me. He made a brusque gesture, and the
wine-bottle toppled under his arm. He turned and caught it in mid-air with
a grace that seemed inhuman to my troubled senses. He paused, looking at the
bottle as if it were the future, his head and back bent.
"You--you are very strong, aren't you," I whispered.
"Strong?" he said in a queer, detached voice that did not sound like
his own. "Yes, I am...strong." He lingered on the last word as if he detested
it. He straightened up in his chair and held the bottle at arm's length. His
hand tightened on the bottle, and it snapped and shattered, the shards
cascading to the table, splintering against silver and gold and falling to
the floor.
"Oh, you have hurt yourself!" I cried, jumping up. His hand was still
closed, and mixed with the pale wine stain spreading across the tablecloth,
darker drops were welling up from the tender web of flesh between thumb and
index finger, running down his wrist, spotting the white lace, and dripping
to the table between the dark, clenched fingers.
He stood up, and I checked my impulse to go to him and stood shivering
by my chair. He opened his hand, and a few more bits of glass fell to the
table. He turned the hand palm up and looked at it.
"It is nothing," he said. "Only that I am a fool."
He strode off down the long table without looking at me; a door opened
in a gloomy corner, and he was gone.

BAD MANAGEMENT
In Schubel & Son's Star Venture, starships will gladly blast off for
any destination, regardless of whether they have enough food and fuel
to survive the voyage.
