But this foolish man’s temperament was not very resilient like he had originally thought. When he saw the giant beast for the first time he became too scared, but not just scared—completely terrified. He scrabbled and ran away, off the Path, and changed the course of history, and in turn, the future, forever.…

The world will have a generation of idiots.” (-Albert Einstein) Ray Bradbury is an author that specializes in creating short stories.
