| Summary | "Mate in Two Moves" by Winston K. Marks is a science fiction story published in the early 1950s. The narrative unfolds in a future society grappling with an epidemic that stirs intense emotional responses among the population, leading to a dramatic surge in romantic relationships. The storyline centers around Dr. Sylvester Murt, a pathologist, who becomes intertwined in the trials of both a mysterious virus and his own burgeoning feelings amid the chaos. The plot follows Dr. Murt as he navigates his professional detachment and personal emotions in the face of a nationwide relationship craze induced by a love virus, dubbed "Murt's Virus." As he and his assistant, Dr. Phyllis Sutton, delve deeper into the research concerning the virus, they confront not only the scientific implications of their findings but also their own growing attraction toward one another. The dynamic between them evolves through various challenges and societal pressures, leading to unexpected consequences when they impulsively decide to marry under the influence of the very virus they are studying. Ultimately, they learn that their connection is genuine but complicated by the circumstances surrounding them, culminating in a humorous yet insightful exploration of love and science.
