Title: Referent
Language: English
Way off in the hot distance of the garden a bonging noise sounded. A
cylinder was rushing up the tube to the wall's circular door. The door
peeled open with a faint hiss. Footsteps rustled measuredly along the
path. Mister Grill stepped through a lush frame of tiger-lillies.
"Morning, Roby. Oh!" Mister Grill stopped, his chubby pink face looked
as if it had been kicked. "What have you there, boy?" he cried.
Roby bounced the object against the wall.
"This? A rubber ball."
"Eh?" Grill's small blue eyes blinked, narrowing. Then he relaxed. "Why,
of course. For a moment I thought I saw—uh—er—"
Roby bounced the ball some more.
Grill cleared his throat. "Lunch time. Meditation Hour is over. And I'm
not certain that Minister Locke would enjoy your playing unorthodox
games."
Roby swore under his breath.
"Oh, well, then, go on. Play. I won't tattle." Mr. Grill was in a generous
mood.
"Don't feel like playing." Roby sulked, shoving his sandal-tip into the
dirt. Teachers spoiled everything. You couldn't vomit without
permission.
Grill tried to interest the boy. "If you come to lunch now I'll let you
televise your mother in Chicago afterward."
"Time limit, two minutes, ten seconds, no more no less," was Roby's acid
reply.
"I gather you don't approve of things, boy."
"I'll run away some day, wait and see!"
"Tut, lad. We'll always bring you back, you know."
"I didn't ask to be brought here in the first place." Roby bit his lip,
staring at his new red rubber ball. He thought he had seen it kind of, sort
of, well—move. Funny. He held the ball in his hand. The ball shivered.
Grill patted his shoulder. "Your mother is neurotic. Bad environment.
You're better off here on the island. You have a high I.Q. and it is an
honor for you to be here with the other little boy geniuses. You're
unstable and unhappy and we're trying to change that. Eventually you'll
be the exact antithesis of your mother."
"I love mother!"
"You like her," corrected Grill, quietly.
"I like mother," replied Roby, disquieted. The red ball twitched in his
hand, without his touching it. He looked at it with wonder.
"You'll only make it harder for yourself if you love her," said Grill.
"You're god-damn silly," said Roby.
Grill stiffened. "Don't swear. Besides, you don't really mean god and you
don't mean damn. There's very little of either in the world. Semantics
Book Seven, page 418, Labels and Referents."
"Now, I remember," shouted Roby, looking around. "There was a
Sandman here just now and he said—"
"Come along," said Mr. Grill. "Lunch time."
Mr. Grill stepped out of the seal in the garden wall. He looked around for
Roby. Sunlight struck him warmly in the face as he hurried down the
path.
There! There was Roby. In the clearing ahead of him. Little Roby
Morrison staring at the sky, making fists, crying out to nobody. At least
Grill could see nobody about.
"Hello, Roby," called Grill.
The boy jerked at the sound. He—wavered—in color, density, and
quality. Grill blinked, decided it was only the sun.
"I'm not Roby!" cried the child. "Roby escaped! He left me to take his
place, to fool you so you wouldn't hunt for him! He fooled me, too!"
screamed the child, nastily, sobbing. "No, no, don't look at me! Don't
think that I'm Roby, you'll make it worse! You came expecting to find
him, and you found me and made me into Roby! You're moulding me
and I'll never, never, never change, now! Oh, God!"
"Come now, Roby—"
"Roby'll never come back. I'll always be him. I was a rubber ball, a
woman, a Sandman. But, believe me, I'm only malleable atoms, that's all.
Let me go!"
Grill backed up slowly. His smile was sick.
"I'm a referent, I'm not a label!" cried the child.
"Yes, yes, I understand. Now, now, Roby, Roby, you just wait right there,
right there now, while I, while I, while I call the Psycho-Ward."
Moments later, a corps of assistants ran through the garden.
"God damn you all!" screamed the child, kicking. "Damn you!"
"Tut," declared Grill quietly, as they forced the child into the vac-
cylinder. "You're using a label for which there is no referent!"
The cylinder sucked them away.
A star blinked on the summer sky and vanished.
