The story is "The Morphology of the Kirkham > Wreak" by Hilbert Schenck.

Glad to see another Schenck (pronounced "skenk", btw, rather than "shenk") fan. My first Schenck story was "Battle of the Abaco Reefs", which was nominated for a Hugo Award, and I've enjoyed his work since. Some of his stuff is fair to middlin', some of it *very* good. The two novels are a bit weaker than his short fiction, but still worth reading. Following is a bibliography, first appearances only. I don't have enough time to wade through my "best of" or other anthologies to look for reprints.
