Mute
by Richard Matheson
The story of a strange foreign boy who cannot speak ... because he has been deliberately raised to communicate psychically. Part of a scientific experiment, his upbringing in the United States was a well-kept secret until his parents died. Then, taken in by the local sheriff and his wife, Paal's problems really start. How can he live in a world that's determined to force him to communicate vocally? And what will his adoptive parents do if -- or when -- the other scientists show up looking for the boy?
"Mute" was the basis for an episode of
The Twilight Zone
TV series, scripted by Richard Matheson from this short story.
