Drexel Jerome Lewis Bixby (January 11, 1923 in Los Angeles – April 28, 1998 in San Bernardino, California) was an American short story writer, editor and scriptwriter, best known for his work in science fiction. He also wrote many westerns and used the pseudonyms Jay Lewis Bixby, D. B. Lewis, Harry Neal, Albert Russell, J. Russell, M. St. Vivant, Thornecliff Herrick and Alger Rome (for one collaboration with Algis Budrys). He is most famous for the 1953 story "It's a Good Life" which was the basis for a 1961 episode of The Twilight Zone and which was included in Twilight Zone: The Movie (1983). He also wrote four episodes for the Star Trek series: "Mirror, Mirror", "Day of the Dove", "Requiem for Methuselah", and "By Any Other Name". With Otto Klement, he co-wrote the story upon which the classic sci-fi movie Fantastic Voyage (1966), television series, and novel by Isaac Asimov were based (as well the third episode of the The Magic Schoolbus, 'Inside Relphie'). Bixby's final work was the screenplay for the 2007 cult sci-fi film The Man From Earth. [mehr]

"Room To Let For A Single Gentleman." Sometimes In An Idle Hour, Impelled By Foolishness, I Will Knock At The Door. It Is Opened After A Longer Or Shorter Interval By The "Slavey"--In The Morning, Slatternly, Her Arms Concealed Beneath Her Apron; In The Afternoon, Smart In Dirty Cap And Apron. How Well I Know Her! Unchanged, Not Grown An Inch--Her Round Bewildered Eyes, Her Open Mouth, Her Touzled Hair, Her Scored Red Hands. [mehr]

Now, This Is A Subject On Which I Flatter Myself I Really Am _Au Fait_. The Gentleman Who, When I Was Young, Bathed Me At Wisdom's Font For Nine Guineas A Term--No Extras--Used To Say He Never Knew A Boy Who Could Do Less Work In More Time; And I Remember My Poor Grandmother Once Incidentally Observing, In The Course Of An Instruction Upon The Use Of The Prayer-Book, That It Was Highly Improbable That I Should Ever Do Much That I Ought Not To Do, But That She Felt Convinced Beyond A Doubt That I Should Leave Undone Pretty Well Everything That I Ought To Do.

Fate Intended Me For A Singularly Fortunate Man. Properly, I Ought To Have Been Born In June, Which Being, As Is Well Known, The Luckiest Month In All The Year For Such Events, Should, By Thoughtful Parents, Be More Generally Selected. How It Was I Came To Be Born In May, Which Is, On The Other Hand, Of All The Twelve The Most Unlucky, As I Have Proved, I Leave To Those More Conversant With The Subject To Explain. An Early Nurse, The First Human Being Of Whom I Have Any Distinct Recollection, Unhesitatingly Attributed The Unfortunate Fact To My Natural Impatience; Which Quality She At The Same Time Predicted Would Lead Me Into Even Greater Trouble, A Prophecy Impressed By Future Events With The Stamp Of Prescience. It Was From This Same Bony Lady That I Likewise Learned The Manner Of My Coming. It Seems That I Arrived, Quite Unexpectedly, Two Hours After News Had Reached The House Of The Ruin Of My Father's Mines Through Inundation; Misfortunes, As It Was Expounded To Me, Never Coming Singly In This World To Any One. That All Things Might Be Of A Piece, My Poor Mother, Attempting To Reach The Bell, Fell Against And Broke The Cheval-Glass, Thus Further Saddening Herself With The Conviction--For No Amount Of Reasoning Ever Succeeded In Purging Her Welsh Blood Of Its Natural Superstition--That Whatever Might Be The Result Of Future Battles With My Evil Star, The First Seven Years Of Tiny Existence Had Been, By Her Act, Doomed To Disaster.

She Had Not Meant To Stay For The Service. The Door Had Stood Invitingly Open, And A Glimpse Of The Interior Had Suggested to Her The Idea That It Would Make Good Copy. "Old London Churches: Their Social And Historical Associations." It Would Be Easy To Collect Anecdotes Of The Famous People Who Had Attended them. She Might Fix Up A Series For One Of The Religious Papers. It Promised quite Exceptional Material, This Particular Specimen, Rich In tombs And Monuments. There Was Character About It, A Scent Of Bygone Days. She Pictured the Vanished Congregations In their Powdered wigs And Stiff Brocades. How Picturesque Must Have Been The Marriages That Had Taken Place There, Say In the Reign Of Queen Anne Or Of The Early Georges. The Church Would Have Been Ancient Even Then. With Its Air Of Faded grandeur, Its Sculptured Recesses And Dark Niches, The Tattered banners Hanging from Its Roof, It Must Have Made An Admirable Background. Perhaps An Historical Novel In The Thackeray Vein? She Could See Her Heroine Walking up The Aisle On The Arm Of Her Proud Old Soldier Father. Later On, When Her Journalistic Position Was More Established, She Might Think Of It. It Was Still Quite Early. There Would Be Nearly Half An Hour Before The First Worshippers Would Be Likely To Arrive: Just Time Enough To Jot Down A Few Notes. If She Did Ever Take To Literature It Would Be The Realistic School, She Felt, That Would Appeal To Her. The Rest, Too, Would Be Pleasant After Her Long Walk From Westminster. She Would Find A Secluded seat In one Of The High, Stiff Pews, And Let The Atmosphere Of The Place Sink Into Her. [mehr]

Fate intended me for a singularly fortunate man. Properly, I ought to have been born in June, which being, as is well known, the luckiest month in all the year for such events, should, by thoughtful parents, be more generally selected. How it was I came to be born in May, which is, on the other hand, of all the twelve the most unlucky, as I have proved, I leave to those more conversant with the subject to explain. [mehr]
