What's the Name of That Book??? discussion

Hello all,
I once read a science fiction short story in a locally translated Science fiction anthology. It contained Ray Bradbury's Sound of Thunder as well. Therefore I'm sure the story in question might have also been a translation of a known work.

The only bits and pieces I can remember are,
1) A man falls into another dimension under his sofa (he might have been crouching to reach for some fallen object and he gets pushed in)
2) This dimension is sort of greyish and empty

Does anyone know what this short story might be?

Here's a list of all the places that "Sound of Thunder" has been collected http://www.isfdb.org/cgi-bin/title.cg... - it includes translations; a quick look through this list might help you find your story.


P.S. What language was it translated into?

Randy, are you still looking for this short story or did you find it?

Hiya, Nope not yet.

Thank you so much! This does sound like it. I'll look for the story.

Little Girl Lost is collected in Duel, a collection of short stories by Richard Matheson.

Excellent! Thank you. I only have the Nightmare at 30,000 Feet collection. Will check out Duel.
