Summary "Gramp" by Charles V. De Vet is a short story that falls within the science fiction genre, crafted during the early 1960s. The narrative explores themes of perception and understanding through the unique abilities of a young boy who perceives the thoughts and emotions of those around him as vivid mental pictures. The story dives into the complex relationship between the boy and his grandfather, affectionately referred to as Gramp, highlighting the challenges of being different in a society that often rejects those who stand out. The story unfolds through the eyes of the young protagonist, Little Joe, who possesses the extraordinary ability to see the thoughts and feelings of others as colorful images in his mind. This gift, however, becomes a double-edged sword as it leads to tension and misunderstandings, particularly when Gramp engages in dubious actions that trouble the boy. As they navigate the complexities of their secretive bond, Joe grapples with the moral dilemmas posed by his grandfather's questionable decisions. The climax reveals a poignant moment of realization and loss as Joe's innocent instinct to protect Gramp ultimately leads to a heartbreaking conclusion, leaving a lasting impression about the innocence of childhood and the weight of adult actions.
