Hello!

Since there are no takers yet, how 'bout an additional quote from the same story?

"He's travelled a long way around, and by his look, he's never married, but always travelled, as some men do, crazy to change their scenery every week, every month, every year, until they reach an age where they are collecting nothing at all but a lot of empty trips and a lot of towns with no more subtance to them than movie sets and a lot of people in those towns who are about as real as wax dummies seen in lighted windows late at night as you pass by on a slow, black train."

Also this story has gone by two different titles. Either will do.

Its a story that may make you smile and laugh.

Hello Bradbury Enthusiasits,

Will post the title(s) of this wonderful story Wednesday if no correct answer is posted, then the next quote is up for grabs.

Be well.

Tends to get buried, doesn't it?

Yep.

Hi,
The title of the Bradbury story quoted is " A Far Away Guitar" (BRADBURY STORIES 2003). OR its "Miss Bidwell" in the beautifully produced 2008 volume of Green Town stories SUMMER MORNING, SUMMER NIGHT.

Who will post the next challenge?

Nice one, BT - it was definitely a gettable answer. I checked about 6 or 7 stories but not the right one.

I've had two turns recently, so we need new blood.

Somebody, anybody, please post your quote. It has been almost three months. Thank you.

greenray, why don't you post one?

Ok.

"And if you wondered what Time sounded like it
sounded like water running in a dark cave and
voices crying and dirt
dropping
down
upon hollow box lids,
and rain."

"Cistern!" ?

Is the layout of the text significant? (Is this a poem? It looks like one!)

Hi.

Sorry fjp451, not "Cistern". Good guess.

phil, it does read like a poem, and thought it'd look interesting kind of spread out.

I just found the answer by a simple act available to all members of the board...

Well, I'm not too embarrassed to cheat.

It's 'Night Meeting' from the Martian Chronicles.

Hey robertp, you found the right answer.
I think that exempts you from choosing a new line so I'll post another.

Name this Ray Bradbury story:

"He put his head down into his hands and began to fill the palms of his hands with small tears."

Brother,

Could it be; A Sound of Thunder?
