    The spirits dance like fire in the sky. . . . 
    The three cubs—Kallik, Toklo, and Lusa—along with their shape-shifting companion, Ujurak, stand on the edge of the sea-ice under the blazing Northern Lights. The land has come to an end, but the bears' journey is far from over. Now they must put their trust in Kallik's paws, as she feels the ice pulling her out toward the ocean.  
    Life on the ice is more difficult than the bears imagined. While Kallik struggles to remember her polar bear roots, Toklo bristles in the unfamiliar territory and Lusa gets weaker by the day; black and brown bears don't belong on the ice. Meanwhile, Ujurak learns firsthand what lurks beneath the whorls and bubbles of the ice, and what he discovers will change everything. 
    Just when it seems like they'll never survive in the frozen wilderness, a mystical encounter with a bear spirit assures them that all will be well. But this strange vision leads to even more questions, and ultimately it might tear the bears apart—this time for good—as the next steps of their journey come into focus.

    The Monster Maker by Ray Bradbury - "Get Gunther," the official orders read. It was to laugh! For Click and Irish were marooned on the pirate's asteroid—their only weapons a single gun and a news-reel camera. 
    Suddenly, it was there. There wasn't time to blink or speak or get scared. Click Hathaway's camera was loaded and he stood there listening to it rack-spin film between his fingers, and he knew he was getting a damned sweet picture of everything that was happening. 
    The picture of Marnagan hunched huge over the control-console, wrenching levers, jamming studs with freckled fists. And out in the dark of the fore-part there was space and a star-sprinkling and this meteor coming like blazing fury. 
    Click Hathaway felt the ship move under him like a sensitive animal's skin. And then the meteor hit. It made a spiked fist and knocked the rear-jets flat, and the ship spun like a cosmic merry-go-round. 
    There was plenty of noise. Too damned much. Hathaway only knew he was picked up and hurled against a lever-bank, and that Marnagan wasn't long in following, swearing loud words. Click remembered hanging on to his camera and gritting to keep holding it. What a sweet shot that had been of the meteor! A sweeter one still of Marnagan beating hell out of the controls and keeping his words to himself until just now. 
    It got quiet. It got so quiet you could almost hear the asteroids rushing up, cold, blue and hard. You could hear your heart kicking a tom-tom between your sick stomach and your empty lungs. 
    Stars, asteroids revolved. Click grabbed Marnagan because he was the nearest thing, and held on. You came hunting for a space-raider and you ended up cradled in a slab-sized Irishman's arms, diving at a hunk of metal death. What a fade-out! 
    "Irish!" he heard himself say. "Is this IT?" 
    "Is this what?" yelled Marnagan inside his helmet. 
    "Is this where the Big Producer yells CUT!?"

    The Meteor Girl - A Meteor Opens...

    The Meteor Girl is an early science fiction story by Jack Williamson, first published in 1931. It follows a young telegraph operator whose ordinary night shift is disrupted when a meteor crashes nearby — bringing with it something far stranger than stone. The encounter pulls him into a mystery that blends young love, cosmic possibility, and the unknown forces that move between worlds. Williamson uses simple, direct prose to create a sense of widening wonder as the familiar gives way to the extraordinary. 
    The story reflects the optimism and curiosity of early pulp-era SF. Rather than grim speculation, it leans toward discovery — the idea that the universe is full of secrets waiting to be stumbled over by unsuspecting people with open eyes. Like many early Williamson pieces, it treats science not as abstraction but as an adventure through which ordinary lives are suddenly changed. 
    Jack Williamson (1908–2006) was one of the longest-lived and most respected voices of American science fiction. Raised in rural New Mexico, he began selling stories to the pulps as a teenager and remained active well into the 21st century — his career spanning from the age of airships to the age of the internet. Williamson wrote across styles and decades, from space opera to thoughtful sociological SF, producing works like The Legion of Space, Darker Than You Think, and later the Hugo and Nebula-winning Terraforming Earth. 
    He bridged generations of the genre, studying it formally and teaching it at Eastern New Mexico University while still publishing fiction. Williamson’s work helped move science fiction from pulp entertainment to a literature of ideas, and The Meteor Girl stands as an early glimpse of the imagination that would make him a pillar of the field.
