| Summary | "1,492,633 Marlon Brandos" by Vance Aandahl is a science fiction short story written in the early 1960s. The narrative unfolds in a city permeated by dark, restless energies, where a chaotic night leads to an unexpected confrontation among various characters driven by primal urges and desires. The story explores themes of identity, desire, and societal order, reflecting the turbulence of human nature when stripped of societal constraints. The plot centers around three primary characters — Chester McRae, Bartholomew Oliver, and Oswald Williams — who, driven by an inexplicable need during the night, emerge into the streets filled with a restless mob of men. As they roam the city, their desires and frustrations bubble to the surface, culminating in an anger-fueled frenzy sparked by the appearance of a girl on a balcony. The presence of a man controlling the situation above transforms the scene, reminding the characters of their mundane existences that await them. Ultimately, the story leaves a lingering sense of existential questioning as the characters return to their lives, having briefly tasted a chaotic freedom that starkly contrasts with their daily routines.
