"See?" by Edward G. Robles is a science fiction short story written in the early to mid-20th century. The narrative follows a group of hobos who encounter a mysterious object that influences their perceptions and understandings in unusual ways. The book explores themes of perception, reality, and the way individuals project their thoughts onto the world around them. The story begins with Eddie, the narrator, and his companions—a former professor, Dirty Pete, and Sacks—who live on the margins of society as they travel the roads. Their lives take a turn when Dirty Pete discovers an enigmatic object that looks different to each of them, sparking a discussion about its true nature. Through their shared experiences and revelations, they realize that the object may be the creation of a telepathic alien force trying to disguise itself. Eventually, they form an unusual team known as the "Commission for the Investigation of Extraterrestrial Invasion" to address a broader existential threat. The blend of humor, camaraderie, and an imaginative premise highlights their struggle against societal norms and the quest for understanding in a baffling world.
