  Death-Wish by Ray Bradbury - They wandered the dead and fragile cities, looking for the legendary Blue Bottle–not knowing what it was, nor caring, not really wanting to find it… ever… 
  The sundials were tumbled into white pebbles. The birds of the air now flew in ancient skies of rock and sand, buried, their songs stopped. The rivers were currented with dust which flooded across the land when the wind bade it reenact an old tale of engulfment. The cities were deep laid with granaries of silence, time stored and kept, golden kernels of forgetfulness, pools and fountains of quietude and memory.  
  Mars was dead.  
  And then out of the large stillness, from a great distance, on the stones of an old highway, there was a tiny sound. First, like an insect, and growing larger, between the cinnamon hills, and finally broadening, flattening out, the sound buzzing and humming, while something moved, growing big. 
  The highway trembled. The rocks ground one upon another briefly. The sound grew into a thunder which shook down avalanches of dust in the old cities.

  "Honor is the true measure of a man." On this principle I built a powerful empire, united disparate lands, and destroyed the greatest threat to our world. I died as a true warrior should: in battle. But instead of being granted a well-earned rest, I awoke on the border of a foreign kingdom, in the body of a noble-born outcast—with a noose around my neck.Never mind if all that remains of my former greatness is a memory. Give me any backwater farm and I will turn it into a formidable stronghold! Give me any scruffy band of scoundrels and they will become the backbone of my new army! My experience, my knowledge, and my memories remain with me.Still, time is pressing. In the forests of this world, I encounter old foes: the same creatures that once nearly destroyed my kingdom. They have infiltrated even here. And only I, who know their nature, can stop them before it is too late. A new empire must rise, or this world will fall.

  No good deed goes unpunished. Especially when you work for Lucifer.Siding with a runway demon might not have been my smartest move. But what do they say about trying at first and not succeeding? After failing in my first mission for Lucifer, I never thought the Council would give me a second chance.After what they did to Aries, I never wanted another chance.Those in power can get away with murder, literally. Could Hell’s only magicless demon do anything to find justice for Aries’s memory? If I discovered that answer, it’d have to wait. Seems Lucifer’s Council wants to turn me into a thief. I’ve got to team with my best friend and Hell’s worst nightmare to steal a powerful artifact from an influential wheeler-and-dealer. This is going to be one hell of a caper.Betrayed by those I trusted most, I’m losing faith in demonkind. This new opportunity could rectify past wrongs… or will it make me wish for a worse fate—like being reborn as an angel?There is only one way to find out. Time to jump into the firehorse saddle, creep into a mansion in the middle of night, steal the one thing that could stop the destruction of everything… oh, and not die doing it.Fail Lucifer once, shame on you. Fail Him twice and you might never get a chance to fail Him again.

  "The Hanging Stranger" is a science fiction short story by American writer Philip K. Dick, originally published in December 1953 in the magazine Science Fiction Adventures.
  The protagonist, Ed Loyce, is a store owner who is disturbed when he sees a stranger hanging from a lamppost, but finds that other people consider the apparent lynching unremarkable.
  He finds evidence that alien insects have taken over, manages to get out of town, talks to the police commissioner, who believes him, and after getting all the information about what Ed knows, explains that the body was hung to see if anyone reacted to it, anyone they didn't have control over. He then takes Ed outside and hangs him from a lamppost.
