Summary: "Happy Rain Night" by Dean Evans is a science fiction short story originally published in the March 1954 issue of Planet Stories. The narrative unfolds on a Martian evening accompanied by a synthi-rain, emphasizing themes of betrayal, desire, and crime within a low-gravity paradise. Set against the backdrop of a gambling city called Fraon, the story explores the entangled lives of its residents, particularly focusing on a woman's quest for retribution. The plot centers around a woman who arrives in Fraon to confront her unfaithful husband, Artie Sterling, who is in the company of another woman. As she navigates the dark underbelly of the city, she successfully robs a croupier to fund her search and ultimately tracks down her husband in Residential Number 327, where she confronts the reality of his betrayal. In a climactic twist, their encounter leads to a fatal confrontation. Afterwards, Artie's other lover and the woman's husband, the Chief of Security, enter the scene, creating a web of deception and tragedy with an unexpected resolution that culminates in a dark reflection on loyalty and loss. The atmosphere of suspense and the dramatic stakes keep readers engaged until the final twist, revealing the complexities of love and vengeance on a night marked by synthetic rain.
