"Bimmie Says" by Sydney J. Van Scyoc is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. The story centers around a young couple, Bimmie and Listie, exploring themes of ambition, love, and the humorous complexities of married life, particularly how they navigate their aspirations in the context of domestic challenges and scientific experimentation. The narrative unfolds through Listie's diary entries, capturing her quirky and often humorous observations about their life together. Bimmie, a budding scientist, is dedicated to conducting experiments in their basement laboratory, often at the expense of his wife's feelings and their relationship. As Listie grapples with her role as a young wife and the upcoming responsibilities of motherhood, she also teases out the implications of Bimmie's experiments on their pets and her own life. The story culminates in a series of comedic yet poignant moments, including the unexpected results of Bimmie’s experiments, reflecting on larger questions about human ambition and the nature of family. Ultimately, "Bimmie Says" offers a satirical look at marriage and scientific curiosity, blending humor with serious undertones in a relatable narrative. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
