Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Sorry: Wrong Dimension" by Ross Rocklynne is a science fiction short story written in the early 1950s. The narrative revolves around a housewife, Stella, and her neighbor, Mabel, as they encounter a mysterious and invisible creature—a 'Drinko'—that plays with Stella's baby while they are inadvertently trapped in a bizarre scenario that hints at interdimensional travel. The story explores themes of motherhood, unexpected adventures, and the clash between the mundane and the extraordinary. In the storyline, Stella enjoys a rare moment of peace when her baby doesn't cry, only to discover that he has been happily playing with an unseen monster. As she and Mabel grapple with this revelation, they soon find themselves ensnared in a dimension where the usual rules do not apply. When two bumbling crooks attempt to abscond with the baby monster, they seek help from the dimension police. Ultimately, Stella's determination to protect her child leads to the apprehension of the thieves, and she is gifted the elusive Drinko as a reward. The tale is whimsical and humorous, highlighting the absurdity of their predicament while emphasizing the bond between mother and child.
