  The One Who Waits by Ray Bradbury 
  Ray Bradbury (1920-2012) was a renowned American author and screenwriter, celebrated for his profound impact on the genres of science fiction and fantasy. Born in Waukegan, Illinois, he began writing at a young age, publishing his first short story at 18 and dedicating his life to storytelling. Best known for his novel "Fahrenheit 451," a dystopian tale highlighting censorship and the loss of individualism, Bradbury's work often explored the intersection of technology and humanity. 
  His vivid imagination brought to life a multitude of short stories, notably in “The Martian Chronicles,” which depicted human colonization on Mars, and "Something Wicked This Way Comes," a dark exploration of fear and morality. Bradbury's lyrical prose and philosophical depth earned him numerous accolades. An ardent advocate for libraries and reading, he emphasized the importance of literature in shaping society. Bradbury’s legacy continues to inspire writers and readers around the globe, solidifying his status as a literary giant.

  Captain Midas by Alfred Coppel - The captain of the Martian Maid stared avidly at the torn derelict floating against the velvet void. Here was treasure beyond his wildest dreams! How could he know his dreams should have been nightmares? 
  Gold! A magic word, even today, isn't it? Lust and gold ... they go hand in hand. Like the horsemen of the Apocalypse. And, of course, there's another word needed to make up the trilogy. You don't get any thing for nothing. So add this: Cost. Or you might call it pain, sorrow, agony. Call it what you like. It's what you pay for great treasure.... 
  These things were true when fabled Jason sailed the Argo beyond Colchis seeking the Fleece. They were true when men sailed the southern oceans in wooden ships. And the conquest of space hasn't changed us a bit. We're still a greedy lot.... 
  I'm a queer one to be saying these things, but then, who has more right? Look at me. My hair is gray and my face ... my face is a mask. The flesh hangs on my bones like a yellow cloth on a rickety frame. I am old, old. And I wait here on my hospital cot—wait for the weight of years I never lived to drag me under and let me forget the awful things my eyes have seen. 
  I'm poor, too, or else I wouldn't be here in this place of dying for old spacemen. I haven't a dime except for the pittance the Holcomb Foundation calls a spaceman's pension. Yet I had millions in my hands. Treasure beyond your wildest dreams! Cursed treasure....
