The Invisible Man

by H. G. Wells

A scientist discovers how to vanish and immediately, predictably, starts using it to be cruel. Power without consequence turns out to be a difficult thing to survive, for everyone including its owner. Watch the bandages; they carry more of the plot than the dialogue does.
