Thanks! I actually have been reading some Bradbury lately (The Martian Chronicles), so maybe he's gotten under my skin more than I realised!

Have you ever read his story "Pillar of Fire"? Or "Frost and Fire"? They really stuck with me.

No, I don't believe I've read either of those, but I'll look them up.

One is in "S is for Space" the other is in "R is for Rocket." I don't remember which one is in which book.

This is exquisite writing. Very philosophical in nature too. I love stories with a psychological aspect. Thank you for sharing such a marvel.

Ooh. This seems like the seed of a bigger story, somehow.
