Isaac Asimov (1920-1992) was a Russian-born American writer and professor of biochemistry, who wrote and edited more than 500 books over the course of his career and was considered one of the “Big Three” writers of science fiction, along with Robert A. Heinlein and Arthur C. Clarke. His short-short story, “A Loint of Paw”, was first published in the August 1957 issue of The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction. We’re building a digital archive of short fiction forms from the classic, golden age, and pulp fiction era of science fiction and fantasy: a central repository of out-of-print stories of three thousand words or less. You can read Asimov's original story on our website, along with the rest of the flash fiction and short stories featured in our videos. For more information, go to www.cyborgink.com.
