Wow, this short story is according to Bradbury, his first successful attempt at writing a story that wasn't an imitation of other writers, but was purely his own. Only a few pages long, but the writing.. oh the writing, the imagery, the way he strung his words together into painted emotions. I savored every line and the poignancy of the story will stay with me a long time.
