He wrote it in November 1941 when he was 21, failed to sell it to any magazine, and eventually lost the manuscript.

However a fan of his, Matthew B. Tepper, discovered the missing manuscript in a collection of Asimov's old papers which were archived in the library of Boston University and sent it to him.
