  Transience by Arthur C. Clarke - Though The World May Die, Man Will Go On. 
  Sir Arthur C. Clarke was a British science fiction writer, futurist, and inventor, best known for his novel 2001: A Space Odyssey and his contributions to both science and science fiction. His work blended rigorous scientific accuracy with imaginative speculation, earning him a place among the greatest sci-fi authors of the 20th century. 
  Born on December 16, 1917, in Minehead, England, Clarke developed an early fascination with space and technology. After serving as a radar specialist in World War II, he studied mathematics and physics at King’s College London. His wartime work on radar helped shape his later ideas on satellite communication, leading to his 1945 proposal for geostationary satellites, a concept that later became reality. 
  Clarke’s writing career took off in the 1940s with stories published in Astounding Science Fiction. His breakthrough novel, Childhood’s End (1953), explored the transformative effects of alien contact on humanity. He became known for his grand visions of the future, blending scientific plausibility with deep philosophical themes. 
  Beyond fiction, Clarke was an advocate for space exploration and technological progress. His prediction of communication satellites earned him recognition from NASA and other scientific institutions. 
  Arthur C. Clarke passed away on March 19, 2008, in Sri Lanka, where he had lived for decades.

  The Guest Rites by Robert Silverberg - Carthule was not the Earthman's god, but Carthule protected him while he was a guest in the temple—even if he tore the temple down! 
  It was time for the after-meal meditation. Marik, First Priest of Carthule, finished his frugal meal and went outside to sit in the mid-day breeze and watch the sands blowing gently over the bare flat plains. The problem of the Revelation occupied his reveries: why had Carthule, in His infinite wisdom, waited so long to reveal to His people that they were not alone in the universe? 
  Marik looked up at the glowing dot behind the gray wall of the sky. That, he knew, was the Sun. And there were other planets, some inhabited, some not. Carthule was not alone; He was one of nine. And His people had never suspected the truth until the flaming ships of the third planet—Earth, was it?—had broken through the skies, and the small white people had told them of the other worlds. 
  The problem was one which the greatest theologians of the time—in whose number Marik, without pride, deemed himself—had discussed at great length, never coming to a solution. Marik and Polla San, of the neighboring temple, had finally concluded that Carthule moved in ways too complex for His mortal people to understand. 
  Marik lowered his gaze from the sky and looked out across the dry expanse of desert. He could make out, dimly, Polla San's temple far across the sands. Polla San was due to visit him shortly, he recalled. Or was it the other way around? Marik frowned; he was getting old, and soon would have to relinquish his duties to one of the younger acolytes and spend his remaining decades sitting dreaming in the afternoon. 
  Calmly Marik settled into the semi-somnolence of the after-meal meditation, fixing his gaze on the far-off temple of Polla San but turning his vision inward.

But every year, they come together for a beach vacation with their dad, and to make more memories. The real excitement for them is their secret special place under the boardwalk, where they hide their sister scrapbook, adding memories from each summer. 
   
   
   
  But this summer feels different. Josie isn't the same—she's turned into one of the popular girls that Stella can't stand. Despite the rocky start to their vacation, they still go to their secret, special place under the boardwalk, adding memories to their sister scrapbook once again. 
   
   
   
  That is, until that place is discovered by the owners of the newest store—the Smoothie Factory, which replaced Josie's favorite sweet spot.
