Summary "Sight Gag" by Laurence M. Janifer is a science fiction novella written in the early 1960s. This work explores themes of intelligence and survival through a plot centered on psychic abilities and the dynamics of conflict between human operatives. The story delves into the inherent struggle of individuals navigating their powers against physical threats, illustrating the complex nature of criminality and law enforcement in a world where psychic skills play a crucial role. The narrative follows a Psi Operative who possesses telekinetic abilities and is on a mission to prevent an assassin, Fredericks, from exacting revenge on him for sending his brother to death row. As Fredericks employs advanced shielding technologies to neutralize the Operative's powers, the tension mounts. In a clever turn, the Operative ultimately defeats Fredericks not through brute strength but by manipulating the bullets as they are fired. This twist at the climax emphasizes the ingenuity required in their line of work and challenges preconceived notions about strength and vulnerability in their high-stakes world. The story concludes with the acknowledgment of the Operative's success, marking a significant milestone in his career while leaving open questions about the nature of power and the facades maintained by such operatives.
