I remember reading this short story in middle school about a little girl who moved to a planet in another solar system, far away from earth, where it does nothing but rain constantly for years on end. She would tell the children what it was like to stand in the sun, what it looked like, how it made her feel, but none of the children believed her. In fact, many of them were jealous, and made fun of her appearance because moving to a planet with no sunshine caused this girl to lose the life inside her. When the day of sunshine finally came, the children locked the girl inside a closet, and forgot about her. I still have so many feelings for this little girl, and I read this short story almost 20 years ago. I don’t even remember the title.
All Summer in A Day by Ray Bradbury. It is one of the saddest things I have ever read.
Shawn Wasabi, someone I am very privileged to call my friend, has been tweeting tonight that his car got broken into and his one-of-a-kind Midi Fighter 64 was stolen from it, along with his macbook and backup harddrive. The Midi Fighter is this cool launchpad he plays.
The police are refusing to do anything about it, because his eyes were red (from crying) and they decided he and his friends had been smoking. They won’t even let him file a report.
Please, please keep your eyes peeled for his Midi Fighter. It is the only one of its kind in the world. That Midi is his entire musical life and he’s devastated that it got stolen. If you know or see ANYTHING, PLEASE contact the San Francisco police.
I’m so angry. He is a wonderful person and did not deserve this.
