Lighter Than You Think
Lighter Than You Think is a mid-20th century science fiction short story by Nelson S. Bond. It follows Pat Pending, an eccentric inventor who creates a 'lightening rod' that allows users to alter their weight at will. The narrative humorously explores themes of innovation, bureaucracy, and romance as the protagonist, Don Mallory, and his secretary, Joyce, attempt to use the invention to cheat at horse racing. Their plans lead to unexpected chaos when their winnings and the invention take off into the sky.
