Occasionally, I write original stuff and post it here. More commonly, this is where I store pictures of art, museum exhibits, film stills, and other stuff I find interesting.
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
"There Will Come Soft Rains," Ray Bradbury
I will never forget the first time I read this short story, which was in one of those massive literature anthology textbooks foisted on sixth graders in English classes. Being a reader, I often read ahead of schedule, and I’d read stories that weren’t assigned. This one was never assigned, and the chill I felt from it that day in study hall still lives within me every time I reread it.
Rest in peace, Ray Bradbury.
