  Dwellers in Silence AKA The Long...

  Ray Bradbury

  After the Great War leaves Mars empty and Earth uncertain, Dr. Walter Hathaway survives alone on a wind-scoured planet, keeping despair at bay through routine, invention, and remembrance. In a stone hut near the ruins of a failed colony, he speaks of the past, tends a warm fire, and waits—year after year—for proof that humanity still exists beyond the stars. 
  When a rocket finally descends from the Martian sky, Hathaway’s patience appears rewarded. But as old worlds collide with new witnesses, the meaning of survival, companionship, and sacrifice grows far more complicated. Ray Bradbury weaves a deeply human meditation on isolation, love, and the extraordinary lengths one man will go to avoid being truly alone. 
  Ray Bradbury remains one of the most influential voices in twentieth-century science fiction, celebrated for blending speculative ideas with powerful emotional insight. His work consistently explores memory, mortality, and the quiet costs of progress. 
  Best known for classics such as Fahrenheit 451, The Martian Chronicles, and Something Wicked This Way Comes, Bradbury’s stories often reveal that the greatest science fiction is not about machines or planets—but about the human heart.

  Would someone really kill for a pack of cards? 
  But these are no ordinary cards. This is the original tarot deck, from which all other tarot decks have sprung. Their fate is entwined with a set of gold figurines representing the Major Arcana, which continually dance around a tabletop much like a chess board—the archetypal forces of the universe in miniature. Whoever can bring the deck and the figurines together will wield power over heaven and earth. 
  Nancy’s father has come into possession of the cards, but doesn’t know what he has. Her fiancé, Henry—of gypsy heritage—does. His family is in possession of the figurines, and he is determined to possess the cards as well. His offer to buy them refused, Henry makes plans to do whatever it takes to gain his prize, no matter who it hurts.... 
  The Greater Trumps is one of Williams’ most thrilling and enjoyable novels—and at the same time, it is perhaps his most symbolically rich.

  One man. Two worlds. A million reasons to say no… but at what cost? 
  Al-Khidr was inside the Hall of Stars, and now he was moving inside a wormhole—a cosmic tunnel that opened up right above the Hall of Stars was spiraling down through galaxies like a coiled serpent from planet Lyra towards Earth. He was unaware of the alien major General Hatathor who was also sucked into the wormhole due to his own act of charging sequence disruption. Where the wormhole was leading? None of them knew. But the one thing sure to the aliens was that the jump was going to happen both in time and space.

  The Cafeteria

  In this mystical short story, the author recalls frequenting a Broadway cafeteria where he would meet other Polish and Russian immigrants. In the fifties, a woman named Esther became part of their group. Although she had been in a Russian prison camp and now had taken a menial job to support her cripple father, she was cheerful and outgoing. She and the author became good friends, but each time he saw her, she looked more disenchanted; her father died, she was often ill, and she worried about her sanity. 
   
  Several years after their first meeting, she called the author and came to his apartment to tell him that she had seen Hitler, surrounded by Nazis in the Broadway cafeteria the night it burned down. The author tried to reassure her that she had had a vision, but he was convinced that she was mad. One night he saw her in the subway, looking happy and prosperous, on the arm of an ancient man he had thought was long dead. He was upset by seeing her with the old man, and reappraised her story of seeing Hitler, realizing that if, as Kant argues, time and space are only forms of perception, then she might really have seen Hitler. The next day he learned that she had killed herself some time before he saw her in the subway. 
   
  This selection is part of the full length audiobook, "Dark: Stories of Madness, Murder and the Supernatural."
