[edit] Short story?

To my knowlege there is no novel of this name, only a short story. Furthermore, the plot given here is almost verbatem from the plot given for the movie of the same name. I have not seen the movie so I cannot comment on it, but unless someone demonstrates that Wells actually did expand his short story into a novel I am going to do some editing. I will hold off for a few days to see if anyone wants to give a reason not to. J. Passepartout

Actually, since I have been looking at google and all the links I looked at refered either to the movie or the short story, I am going to edit right now. J. Passepartout

A great short story, but George Fotheringay was thrown out of a traditional pub in Southern England, not a bar. It is only in english pubs that the English Man occasionly gathers courage to talk about concepts such as ultimate power and its abuse, although more so in the days before slot machines and TVs were installed in them. However, to go deeply into such things gives a feeling of unease and part of the story's humour is that the gods hear what is being said and give the ulimate power to a human being. A.Fan.
