    Fredric Brown

    Fredric Brown (October 29, 1906 – March 11, 1972) was an American science fiction and mystery writer. He is known for his use of humor and for his mastery of the "short short" form—stories of 1 to 3 pages, often with ingenious plotting devices and surprise endings.

One of his stories, "Arena", is officially credited for an adaptation as an episode of the American television series Star Trek.
