"No Strings Attached" by Lester Del Rey is a science fiction tale that spins a dark and comical web around the perils of unchecked desire and the illusion of consequence-free choices. Henry Aimsworth, trapped in a joyless marriage with his predictable wife Emma, stumbles upon an ancient book that offers him a way out through a pact with a demon named Alféar. Tempted by the promise of a clean slate and assured that there are "no strings attached," Henry impulsively requests the demon to remove his wife from the picture. As events unfold, Henry soon discovers that every action has repercussions, and the strings he thought were severed tighten around him with a horrifying grip, proving that easy solutions can lead to catastrophic personal downfalls.
