A military man takes part in an experiment to determine the effects of isolation for the benefit of the moon shot effort. He is sent miles underground in a capsule with instructions to press a button when he can bear no more and the capsule will be returned to the surface. After nine days he is about to push the button when a banging is heard from the top of the capsule. He opens the hatch and is seized by a huge telepathic insect. The insect finds him curious and at first gives the man to his son to play with, but then decides dissection is in order. Unknown to the insects, the man can perceive their thoughts, and so attempts a break and succeeds in reaching the capsule and pressing the button. His superiors convince him that his tale is just a hallucination brought on by sense deprivation, but later that evening the janitor sweeps an insect hair, far larger than any found on the surface, unknowingly into the garbage.
