The Father Thing
Science fiction fans will find familiar the premise of Philip K. Dicks 1954
short story The Father-Thing . In it, a young boy, Charlie, discovers that
his father is not actually his father. The man in his house who comes home
from work, kisses his mother, sits down to dinner, makes comments about
his day at the office may look and talk like the real Mr. Walton, but Charlie
knows better. He alone knows the hideous secret: that his real father has
been killed, and that an alien now inhabits his body, and has usurped his
life. It is no longer his father but the Father-Thing.
