The Museum of Useless Efforts

In the first of these 30 fable-like stories, a museum catalogues an inventory of useless human efforts. The efforts displayed at the museum, such as a prostitute's attempt to find a different job and a man's attempt at unassisted flight, attest to differing degrees of human futility.
