Kaleidoscope
de Ray Bradbury
“It’s Earth for me. Back to old Mother Earth at ten thousand miles per hour. I’ll burn like a match.” Hollis thought of it with a queer abstraction of mind. He seemed to be removed from his body, watching it fall down and down through space, as objective as he had been in regard to the first falling snowflakes of a winter season long gone...
Now, as if they had discovered the horror, two of the men began to scream. In a nightmare Hollis saw
one of them float by, very near, screaming and screaming
. “Stop it!” The man was almost at his fingertips, screaming insanely. He would never stop. He would go on screaming for a million miles, as long as he was in radio range, disturbing all of them, making it impossible for them to talk to one another.

 
“I think it’s the Myrmidone cluster that goes out past Mars and in toward Earth once every five years. I’m right in the middle. It’s like a big kaleidoscope.
You get all kinds of colors and shapes and sizes. God, it’s beautiful, all that metal.”
 

Silence.
 
The sound of voices calling
like lost children on a
cold night...
When I hit the atmosphere,
I’ll burn like a meteor.
“I wonder,” he said, “if anyone’ll see me?”

The small boy on the country road looked up and screamed. “Look, Mom, look! A falling star!” The blazing white star fell down the sky of dusk in Illinois.

“Make a wish,”
said his mother.
“Make a wish"
