Pillar of Fire

“Pillar of Fire” is classical space Sci-Fi short story written by the master of the genre, Ray Bradbury.
Excerpt:
“He came out of the earth, hating. Hate was his father; hate was his mother. It was good to walk again. It was good to leap up out of the earth, off of your back, and stretch your cramped arms violently and try to take a deep breath! He tried. He cried out.”
