Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Little Red Bag" by Jerry Sohl is a science fiction story written in the early 1960s. The narrative revolves around a protagonist endowed with a peculiar talent: the ability to sense the contents of objects and manipulate time within certain confines. This story not only explores his struggles with his unique gift but also delves into a race against time aboard an airplane, presenting high stakes as he discovers a ticking bomb concealed within a fellow passenger's bag. In the story, the unnamed narrator discovers dangerous explosive materials while unknowingly searching through the bag of the woman seated next to him on a flight to Los Angeles. With the bomb's timer threatening to detonate, he must find a way to keep the mechanism from ticking down while navigating a world that is largely oblivious to the deadly situation. As he engages with the woman, Julia, the tension heightens, especially as he learns about the perpetrator behind the bomb's placement—her husband, Joe. As events unfold, including the theft of the bags after their arrival, the story culminates in an explosion that causes the pair to reconsider their priorities, ultimately leading to a moment of connection amidst chaos.
