I Read That A Few Years Ago And It Was WILD. I Only Remember Picking It Up Because It Was Mentioned In
I read that a few years ago and it was WILD. I only remember picking it up because it was mentioned in an episode of Criminal Minds and it sounded crazy haha
It really is! I find a lot of Ray Bradbury stories completely out there, ESPECIALLY considering how old they are!
And obligatory favourite quotes, and they are all related to death, because of course, Ray 💀💀💀
Long before you knew what death was you were wishing it on someone else.
Oh, death in space was most humorous.
And now the great loose brain was disintegrating. The components of the brain which had worked so beautifully and efficiently in the skull case of the rocket ship firing through space were dying one by one; the meaning of their life together was falling apart. And as a body dies when the brain ceases functioning, so the spirit of the ship and their long time together and what they meant to one another was dying.
