Summary "Felony" by James Causey is a science fiction short story originally published in the mid-20th century, specifically in July 1954. The narrative centers around a character named Vogel, a production manager who becomes entangled in a mysterious scenario involving an unusual and seemingly out-of-place employee named Amenth. The story explores the themes of identity, isolation, and the consequences of one's actions within a workplace setting while delving into the concept of beauty and morality through a science fiction lens. In "Felony," Vogel's life takes a dramatic turn when he encounters Amenth, an enigmatic worker with a hidden past and extraordinary abilities that defy conventional understanding. As Vogel investigates Amenth's background and the strange happenings in his factory, he uncovers a complex relationship between the two characters. Amenth, revealed to be an alien in hiding from a society that deems him a felon, attempts to use his knowledge to create a device for escape. The story culminates in a tense confrontation where Vogel is faced with a choice between fulfilling his aspiration for perfection and recognizing the inherent beauty in imperfection, ultimately leading to a poignant exploration of what it means to belong—and the cost of ambition against the backdrop of a vivid alien world.
