| 520 | _a"Wheels Within" by Charles V. De Vet is a science fiction novella originally published in May 1952. The story explores themes of identity and reality, centering on a character named Leroy Bennett who experiences vivid hallucinations of a futuristic city called Thone and a woman named Lima, who he believes holds answers about his past and well-being. Through a blend of psychological and sci-fi elements, the novella delves into Bennett's quest to uncover the truth behind his experiences and the implications they have on his existence. The plot follows Bennett as he grapples with severe headaches and hallucinations that transport him to the city of Thone, where he encounters Lima, a mystic with the ability to read minds. Through their interactions, Bennett confronts personal demons and the repercussions of his decisions in reality, especially concerning an unethical contractor responsible for a deadly building collapse. As he navigates this imagined world, Bennett ultimately discovers that his experiences were part of a somno-rest cure intended to alleviate stress, leading him to grapple with the question of who he truly is when his fantasy world intertwines with his reality. The story culminates in a dramatic revelation about Bennett's identity, blending elements of fantasy, suspense, and philosophical questions about existence and choice.
