WWX Cruiserweight Title




His Brother's Keeper by George Fielding Eliot 
Weird Tales, September 1931

Gruesome quickie about fitting two in an iron maiden.

Rest in Pieces by W.T. Quick

Isaac Asimov's Science Fiction Magazine, January 1980


A flunky who ripped off the mob has a contract put on him by a sentient bomb with very specific parameters. The target has four hours to escape, the bomb can track him anywhere by brain waves, teleport to his location, is not allowed to hurt anyone else, can teleport innocent people away from the blast but only within a certain radius, and is not allowed to teleport the target - the last two convolutions are only to aid the attempt at a clever ending.

George Fielding Eliot retains the Cruiserweight title.
