WARNING MASSIVE SPOILER
In expanding the synopsis I dropped the part about the patient, Sandra, being decapitated before giving birth, since that's, like, the "final twist" which is the whole point of reading the story, a la a Twilight Zone episode. Any thoughts? -- 209.149.235.254 20:18, 22 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- A blast from the past - yours truly made this comment when I was an anonymous noob. Obviously under WP policy as it's developed over the years it's proper to discuss the story in full. Thanks to all for not biting. Ellsworth ( talk) 03:23, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
I think the synopsis needs some work - the second paragraph is confusing, and the barkeep from the Bronx is not explained at all. - Elizabennet | talk 22:06, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
- This appears to have been fixed, and the reference to the barkeep is dropped. -- The Bronx? In the version I have (UK paperback - picked it up on holiday when I was a teen) he's from Brooklyn.

- The version I searched on Amazon shows Stevens (the barkeep) is from Brooklyn in the US paperback. As usual with UK/US editions there are minor differences in spelling, colloquial expressions, etc. The one I always remember with amusement is that in the US version David's preferred cocktail is a scotch and soda, whereas in my UK paperback it's a Bombay martini.
