| Summary | "It's Raining Frogs!" by Milton Lesser is a science fiction short story published in the mid-20th century, specifically comprising themes from the 1950s. This story explores unconventional phenomena, with the intriguing concept of frogs raining down from a clear sky, connecting with ideas of psychokinesis and parallel dimensions. The plot revolves around George, who becomes an unwitting catalyst for bizarre events, and his wife, Myra, who is captivated by the work of Charles Fort—a writer noted for his exploration of anomalous phenomena. In the narrative, George finds himself in a surreal and comical situation where little red frogs begin to fall from the sky while he is enjoying a day at the beach with his wife. As the story unfolds, a character named Arl, who claims to be a king from the realm of these frogs, appears after George inadvertently calls for him through a psychokinetic connection. Tensions rise as George and Myra navigate the absurdity of their situation, which leads to humorous dynamics of power, jealousy, and revelation regarding relationships. Ultimately, George discovers a newfound confidence in asserting control over his life, defying expectations while maintaining a playful tone in a world where the boundaries of reality are bent.
