[edit] Jack Finney

For the moment, I moved the reference to Jack Finney's "Contents of a Dead Man's Pockets" to a trivia section I created, but I'm inclined to argue that, while the stories have a similar premise, there's not really any reason to cite Finney's on this page - I don't see any evidence of one having inspired the other in my quick Googlings. But I'm pretty new at this, and I hesitate to just go ahead and delete. Thoughts? Chaoticfluffy (talk) 18:57, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Tall Building

Perhaps the plot summary should indicate that the ledge was on the 50th floor (or whatever number) of the building. I think that gives a better sense of the story context, fear, and suspense. If anyone knows the correct number from the short story, can you please add it in? Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 17:28, 30 July 2007 (UTC))
