"Sensory Overload" by Nicholas Hall

[Rutabaga]

Here, as a Pick from the Past:  http://www.awesomedude.com/nicholas-hall/sensory-overload/sensory-overload.htm

This story will have you thinking of the Lovin' Spoonful song, "Do You Believe in Magic?" in increasing degrees.

I did feel, though, that the title picture did not mesh with the story, although I'm not sure what I would have picked instead.
