The Creature from Cleveland Depths, by Fritz Leiber. Published in Galaxy in 1962.
This is a novella I post-processed for another project manager. It’s really fun to do more modern stories, especially science fiction. This is a story that will resonate with people who feel controlled by their calendar. The artwork by Wallace(?) Wood is amusing.
