Graph Waldeyer 27 min read

'Do you believe this fourth dimension holds intelligent life?' Dr. Pillbot asks, and Professor Gault laughs it off, unaware that his assistant's absurd, senseless doodles are anything but idle.

Graph Waldeyer's 1941 story is a clever alternate-history and hard-SF tale of the fourth dimension. Inventive, fun golden-age pulp. Read it for a genial story where a skeptical professor's dismissal of higher dimensions is undone by his assistant's strange geometric scribbles, which open a door no one expected.
