| Summary |
"The Man Who Flew" by Charles D. Cunningham, Jr. is a science fiction short story that was published in the early 1960s. This tale explores themes of telepathy and murder within a futuristic society where violent crime has been virtually eradicated. The story focuses on a detective, Keller, who possesses advanced mental abilities as he investigates a perplexing case involving a woman’s mysterious death. In the narrative, Keller is approached by Harold Radcliffe, who is distraught over the murder of his wife under bizarre circumstances. As Keller delves into the investigation, he discovers that Radcliffe has a hidden past that includes blindness and repressed memories connected to the crime. The narrative unfolds through Keller’s use of his telepathic abilities, leading him to confront a sinister entity referred to as "The Man Who Flew." Ultimately, the story reaches a climax as Keller realizes that Radcliffe himself might be connected to the unsettling events, suggesting a darker twist in the narrative both about the nature of identity and the unknown threats lurking within the human psyche.
